Abstract:Objective To investigate the effect of femoral cortical windowing on different position on strength of femur. Methods Windowing on different position was completed on fresh pig femurs. MTS 810 fatigue testing machine was utilized to test the anterior, posterior, medial and lateral strength. Statistical analysis was performed on SPSS statistics 17 statistics. Results Windowing caused significant loss of strength while position affected strength post windowing. Proximal windowing achieved the least loss of strength compared with other positions. Conclusion Windowing on femur leads to loss of strength and proximal windowing is probably the best position in terms of conservation of strength.
