The designation German ‘Adam Bogen’ (arch) which is the used in the German literature as a description of the thick medial cortex of the femoral neck is incorrect. This arch was described by Robert Adams (1795-1871), who was an Irish anatomist and surgeon. Adams, Colles and Smith were outstanding surgeons who described fractures of the

Bone-marrow oedema can occur both in isolation and in association with necrosis of bone, but it has not been shown whether each respond to the same methods of treatment. We treated 16 patients with isolated oedema and 17, in which it was associated with necrosis of the
Aims. Surgical approaches that claim to be minimally invasive, such as the direct anterior approach (DAA), are reported to have a clinical advantage, but are technically challenging and may create more injury to the soft-tissues during joint exposure. Our aim was to quantify the effect of soft-tissue releases on the joint torque and femoral mobility during joint exposure for hip resurfacing performed via the DAA. Methods. Nine fresh-frozen hip joints from five pelvis to mid-tibia cadaveric specimens were approached using the DAA. A custom fixture consisting of a six-axis force/torque sensor and motion sensor was attached to tibial diaphysis to measure manually applied torques and joint angles by the surgeon. Following dislocation, the torques generated to visualize the acetabulum and
