  1. 1. Classifying femur fractures using federated learning

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Statistik och maskininlärning

    Author : Hong Zhang; [2024]
    Keywords : Atypical femur fracture; Federated Learning; Neural Network; Classification;

    Abstract : The rarity and subtle radiographic features of atypical femoral fractures (AFF) make it difficult to distinguish radiologically from normal femoral fractures (NFF). Compared with NFF, AFF has subtle radiological features and is associated with the long-term use of bisphosphonates for the treatment of osteoporosis. READ MORE

  3. 2. FE Modelling Of Two Femur Fixation Implants

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Mekanik och hållfasthetslära

    Author : Ali Arsiwala; Vatsal Shukla; [2021]
    Keywords : FEM; Femur; Image Segmentation; Material Modelling; Recon Implant; Antegrade Implant; Atypical Femoral Fracture; Intermedullary Nail;

    Abstract : In the pool of women over the age of 50, the likeliness of an atypical fracture increase drastically, partly due to osteoporosis. With a pre-existing implant in the femur bone, inserted due to a prior atypical fracture, treating a later femoral neck fracture is complex and risky. READ MORE

  4. 3. Classification of Atypical Femur Fracture with Deep Neural Networks

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Author : Yupei Chen; [2019]
    Keywords : deep neural networks; classification; atypical femur fracture; class activation mapping;

    Abstract : Atypical Femur Fracture(AFF) is a type of stress fracture that occurs in conjunction with prolonged bisphosphonate treatment. In practice, AFF is very rarely identified from Normal Femur Fracture(NFF) correctly on the first diagnostic X-ray examination. READ MORE

  5. 4. A multiscale finite model of a stress fracture

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

    Author : Alexander Wingård; [2014]
    Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Stress fractures are problematic type of fractures as they are prone to delayed and nonunions. In order to achieve healing and restore the bones mechanical aspects, invasive treatments such as attaching plates, nails and screws are sometimes needed to stabilize the bone and facilitate healing.
