Morphological abnormalities of the femoroacetabular (hip) joint are among the most
common human musculoskeletal disorders and often develop asymptomatically at early …

The identification of femoral landmarks is a common procedure in multiple academic fields.
Femoral bone coordinate systems are used particularly in orthopedics and biomechanics …

Statistical shape models (SSMs) are a well established computational technique to
represent the morphological variability spread in a set of matching surfaces by means of …

Femoral fractures may result in loss of the original femur anatomy, without leaving a direct
source of reference for femur reduction procedures. Femoral configuration renders it feasible …

Objective To define and validate a method for the measurement of 3‐dimensional (3D)
morphometric parameters in polygonal mesh models of canine femora. Study Design Ex …

Quadric surface fitting of joint surface areas is often performed to allow further processing of
joint component size, location and orientation (pose), or even to determine soft tissue …

(57) The invention relates to an automated method for precise determination of the head
center and radius and the neck axis of an articulated bone from acquired 3D medical image …

Purpose To develop and validate an automated morphometric analysis framework for the
quantitative analysis of geometric hip joint parameters in MR images from the German …

The anatomy of the distal femur has a predominant influence on the mechanics of both
patello-and tibio-femoral joints. Especially, the morphological degeneration of the trochlear …

Background The quantitative morphological analysis of the trochlear region in the distal
femur and the precise staging of the potential dysplastic condition constitute a key point for …
