Using Three-Dimensional Computational Modeling to Compare the Geometrical Fitness of Two Kinds of Proximal Femoral Intramedullary Nail for Chinese Femur

Figure 2

Proximal fitness of the implant with the femoral model. (a) The InterTan assembled with femoral model; the region within the red circle was the region of interest, the model was cut along the black line, and the distance between the top of the great trochanter and the center of the impingement region was depicted in green line. (b) The red line indicated the maximum thickness of the impingement area. (c) Within region the red circle was the proximal end of the implant protruding from the top of the great trochanter.
