Morphological peculiarities of certain femoral portions

Abstract

The principal volume-mass parameters characterizing morphological peculiarities of various femoral portions have been examined. The peculiarities of the volume parameters distribution of the hard matrix pores and water, organic and mineral parts, their density, general density of the bone and mineral part mass in the samples from various surfaces of the femur in its superior, middle and inferior thirds have been studied. The data obtained will enable to present a comprehensive characteristic of the examined bone in all its circumference and length, and to carry out further examination of their influence upon the regularities to form morphological signs of a fracture surface of the tubular bone in the moment of its destruction (traumatic lesion) in forensic medicine.
