Bones of the Lower Limb: Femur and Patella01:16

Bones of the Lower Limb: Femur and Patella

The femur is the body's longest and strongest bone spanning the thigh region. Its head articulates with the acetabulum of the hip bone to form the hip joint. A minor indentation on the medial side of the femoral head, called the fovea capitis, serves as the site of attachment for the ligament of the head of the femur. This weak ligament spans the femur and acetabulum and supports the hip joint. The narrowed region below the head is the neck of the femur. The inclination angle between the neck...

    • To address common questions regarding less frequent body implant procedures.
    • To provide insights into calf, buttock, and male pectoral implant surgeries.

    Main Methods:

    • Expert responses from Adrien E. Aiache, MD, and Lloyd N. Carlsen, MD, with associates Hugo Amezcua, MD, and Rafael Vergera, MD.
    • Answering questions posed by "Comparing Notes" regarding specific implant surgeries.

    Main Results:

    • Discussion of the current status and considerations for rare implant surgeries.
    • Insights into the practice and acceptance of calf, buttock, and male pectoral implants.

    Conclusions:

    • Highlights the disparity in frequency between facial and certain body implant procedures.
    • Offers expert perspectives on less common but significant body contouring surgeries.
