What could happen for the patient from an orthopedic point of view, on the lower limb when such a disease happens? The reduced use of the limb reduces the pressure on the bearing bone and, from a physiological point of view, a reduction of the mineralization. The bone becomes osteoporotic [2]. The physical phenomenon is reversible when the pressure conditions are restored. Here are two examples. This patient had a right haemorrhagic stroke few years ago. He had a left hemiplegia and spent a long time in physiotherapy due to the difficulty to walk. Note the thin both femoral cortical due to the bad utilization of the left lower limb (Figure a).
