[The morphometric and strength characteristics of the femur for the biomechanical validation of blocking intramedullary osteosynthesis].

A technique is submitted together with a device for measuring the thigh-bone proximal and distal metaepiphyses substantia spongiosa macrohardness to assess stability of the diaphyseal fractures intramedullary osteosynthesis. Data are secured on sizes of the medullary cavity cross-section, thickness of the compact bone tissue, indices for macrohardness of the femoral metaepiphyses substantia spongiosa in frontal and sagittal planes. The results obtained will, we believe, help in finding an optimum construction and technique for osteosynthesis.
