The main goal of creating the database is for designing hip stems for Chinese patients. Methods for constructing the database are introduced. According to some existing software and programs developed by the authors, a database of average cross-sections in Chinese proximal femurs was built based on CT images of eighty femur-specimens. 3-D shape of a patient's proximal femurs can be reconstructed according to the database and X-ray radiographs. Theoretical analyses and results of clinical application indicate that the database can be used to design hip stems for Chinese patients.展开更多
