Sažetak
The study dealt with cortical area of the upper part of the shaft of femur in patients with coxarthrosis. Radiogrametric measurements of 454 X-ray pictures of the hip joint and the proximal part of the shaft of femur produced in a-p projection were performed by means of specially designed sheme. Values of the subperiostal diameter and the lateromedial diameter of the medullar canal were inserted into formulae for calculation of the cortical area. After processing the data, we obtained values of the cortical area of the shaft of femur on sixteen measurement levels in relation to age, sex, magnitude of the colodiaphysial angle and the longitude of limping in the hip. In patients with coxarthrosis, owing to intensified strains, which was the result of the change of direction of the resulting force of loading, a functional adaptability of the bone emerges, manifested by an enlargement of the cortical area on some measurement places.
