ANATOMICAL ASPECTS OF THE PROXIMAL FEMUR OF ADULT BRAZILIANS

This study had the purpose of enlarging the data on the Brazilian people, providing anatomic fundamentals that allow a better comprehension of clinical and pathological states involving the hip joint. Sixty-six human femurs, 33 right and 33 left, were used, coming from the Laboratory of Human Anatom...
