Femoral hernia uncommon type, accounting for only 3% of all hernias. While femoral hernias can occur in both males and females, almost all develop in women due to the increased width of the female pelvis. Femoral hernias are more common in adults than in children. Those that do occur in children are more likely to be associated with a connective tissue disorder or with conditions that increase intra-abdominal pressure. Seventy percent of pediatric cases of femoral hernias occur in infants under the age of one. A femoral hernia may be either reducible or irreducible, and each type can also present as obstructed
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
