Thatâs bad news for heavy abusers seeking to cut back or quit. Reduced dopamine levels usually cause depression. So itâs no surprise many people who cut back or quit report depression. As far as marijuana withdrawal symptoms go, this is probably the one that causes most people to fail.
Your thighbone (femur) is the longest and strongest bone in your body. Because the femur is so strong, it usually takes a lot of force to break it. Car crashes, for example, are the number one cause of femur fractures. The long, straight part of the femur is called the femoral shaft. When there is a break anywhere along this length of bone, it is called a femoral shaft fracture.
Fractures of the Femur. The femur is the bone in your thigh. It extends from your hip joint down to your knee joint. It is one of the largest and strongest bones in your body, and because of this, it usually takes a very high energy force or injury to cause the femur to break (fracture). If your bone is weak, for example in osteoporosis, your femur can fracture with a relatively minor fall. Fractures of the femur are categorised by the exact location of the break (fracture): 1  Proximal femoral fractures. 2  Proximal femur fractures, also called hip fractures, involve the upper-most portion of the thigh bone, just adjacent to the hip joint.
