Resumen
A comparison between the healthy bone and the amputated bone of 20 unilateral transfemoral amputees was done by generating three Hounsfiled Unit histograms at different parts of the femur (femoral head neck, metaphysis and diaphysis), based on images obtained by Computer Axial Tomography. The results show a statistical difference between the analyzed bones. This clearly allows a direct association with the stress shielding phenomenon
