Cam femoro-acetabular impingement (FAI) surgery restores hip range of motion by trimming the head–neck junction, which weakens the proximal femur. Sheep femurs resemble cam deformity and might be suitable for evaluating the impact of the surgical correction. Accordingly, this study addressed two questions: How does increasing head-neck resection affect ovine femoral strength? Are quantitative computed tomography (QCT)-based FE models able to discriminate the observed chan...
