Three-Dimensional Analysis of the Curvature of the Femoral Canal in 426 Chinese Femurs

Purpose. The human femur has long been considered to have an anatomical anterior curvature in the sagittal plane. We established a new method to evaluate the femoral curvature in three-dimensional (3D) space and reveal its influencing factors in Chinese population. Methods. 3D models of 426 femurs...
