TATA LAKSANA PENGUKURAN OS FEMORALIS DENGAN METODE ORTHOROENTGENOGRAFI

ABSTRACT The Femur the longest bone of the body. The bone is a pipe bone and has a stem and two ends, with an indication of examination for the presence of congenital abnormalities in the bone, the occurrence of a fracture or fissure and several other cases sich as spiral fractures that cause shortening of overlapping fragment, or communal fracture (broken into pieces) an resulting in changes in size, shape and length of the bone. Orthorontgenografi method is a method that provides certainty in measuring the length of the bone in moral detail, accurate and specifications on the bone to be measured. The purpose of this study is know the measurement results os femur by using orthorontgenografi method. The type of research is using research quantitative with the experimental method is being done to get results conclusion, place and time study published in May 2019 at the Ropanosuri Padang Special Surgical Hospital.
