Femoral hernia to insinuate in the femoral ring, a consequence of which is development of a femoral peritoneal sac. Femoral hernia A hernia is caused by the protrusion of a viscus (in the case of groin hernias, an intra-abdominal organ) through a weakness in the abdominal wall. This weakness may be inherent, as in the case of inguinal, femoral and umbilical hernias. On the other hand, the weakness may be caused by previous surgical incision through the muscles and fascia in the area; this is termed an incisional hernia. Femoral hernias occur just below the inguinal ligament, when abdominal contents pass through
Femoral neck targeting component occurs, early implant failure can result. There are many methods surgeons use to calculate the true centre of the femoral neck. Today the methods broadly fall under two categories: The navigational systems were created to be an accurate means for surgeons to implant components with as much accuracy as possible. Studies have shown that this is largely true, but navigational systems are a very different means of femoral neck targeting, and require a steep learning curve. Below is a comparative analysis of both types of navigational targeting against traditional targeting techniques. A computer-assisted device to calculate the true centre
