    Femoral Fracture

    Uploaded by

    RafdianJH
    This document discusses the anatomy of the femur and the deforming muscle forces that can act on it after a fracture. It describes the abductors, iliopsoas, adductors, and gastrocnemius muscles and how they can abduct, flex, varus, or extend the proximal and distal fragments of a fractured femur if not properly addressed.

    DEFORMING FORCE
    • a change in the shape or size of an object due to an applied force
    DEFORMING FORCE
    • Deforming muscle forces on the
    femur; abductors (A), iliopsoas
    (B), adductors (C), and
    gastrocnemius origin (D). The
    medial angulating forces are
    resisted by the fascia lata (E)
    DEFORMING FORCE
    musculature acts as a deforming force after fracture
    A. PROXIMAL FRAGMENT
    • abducted : gluteus medius and minimus abduct as they insert on
    greater trochanter
    • flexed : iliopsoas flexes fragment as it inserts on lesser trochanter
    B. DISTAL SEGMENT
    • varus : adductors inserting on medial aspect of distal femur
    • extension : gastrocnemius attaches on distal aspect of posterior
    femur
    DEFORMING FORCE
