There is well documented variation in sensory innervation of the hip joint (with differing contribution across individuals from femoral, sciatic and obturator nerves) [ 13].
In our opinion, restricting hemiarthroplasy to patients without detectable radiological signs of pre-existing osteoarthritis when treating femoral neck fracture would substantially limit its contribution to and value in routine clinical practice.
Furthermore, EDCF contribution to NA-induced contraction of femoral arteries was reported to be similarly enhanced in adult (7-month-old) SHR and aged (14-month-old) normotensive WKY rats [ 39].
Although the growth plate contributes to increased length of the femur, this contribution is too small to fully compensate for the loss of the original proximal femoral growth plate.
The resistance to creep deformation of the UHMWPE is important to evaluations of the relative contribution of deformation or wear to the penetration of the femoral head into the insert.
20,26,27 This study measured the contributions of small fiber bundles located at the ACL femoral attachment to resisting known tibial displacements.
This study compares femoro-femoral (FF) to femoro-subclavian (FS ECMOO and intraaortic balloon counterpulsation (IABP) contribution based on CaBF, CoBF, CoPP, myocardial and brain oxygenation in experimental CA managed by ECMO.
We also tried to examine a potential contribution of high-fat diet on early vascular inflammation observed in the femoral artery of ApoE−/− mice.
We further extended the study on the associations between Cav-1 and MMP expressions by analyzing the contribution of gelatinase activity to intimal hyperplasia in Cav-1 null mice upon femoral artery injury using peri-adventitial cuffs.
However, the femoral muscle vibration, which also stimulated cutaneous mechanoreceptor, had no effect in the present study, suggesting the contribution of respiratory-related mechanoreceptor rather than general cutaneous mechanoreceptor.
