Surgical and Radiologic AnatomyVariation of three-dimensional femoral bowing and its relation to physical status and bone mineral density: a study with CTAbstract Purpose Anatomically, the femoral bone shows sagittal and coronal bowing. Pronounced bowing would affect femoral implant surgery accuracy, but factors associated with degrees of three-dimensional (3D) femoral bowing have not yet been identified. This study measured 3D femoral bowing and examined the correlation between 3D femoral bowing...
