Avascular bone necrosis of the femoral head after renal transplantation: Is it avoidable?
Background: Avascular osteonecrosis (AVN) is a serious osseous complication after renal transplantation (RT). Its prevalence clearly decreased from 20% to 4 % possibly due to the use of calcinurin inhibitors (CNI), reduction of steroid doses and use of steroid free regimens. The aim of our study was to evaluate the frequency of AVN among our kidney transplant recipients and to determine the ris...
متن کاملAvascular Necrosis of the Femoral Head: Are Any Genes Involved?
Avascular necrosis of the femoral head (ANFH) is a pathologic process that results from interruption of blood supply to the femur bone resulting in the death of bone cells and collapse of the femoral head. Nontraumatic ANFH continuesto be a significant challenge to orthopedic surgeons. While the exact mechanisms remain elusive, many new insights have emerged from research in the last decade tha...
متن کاملAvascular necrosis of the femoral head.
The patient was a 51-year-old man who was evaluated by a physical therapist for a chief complaint of right hip pain. The patient was treated with a single bout of nonthrust hip joint mobilizations, but due to the patient's atypical response and long-term use of oral corticosteroid medications, he was referred to his primary care physician. Radiographs and subsequent magnetic resonance imaging r...
متن کامل[Avascular necrosis of the femoral head after transcervical fracture].
The association of transcervical fractures of the femur with avascular necrosis of the capital fragment was recognised many years ago. Nevertheless several basic questions, such as the incidence ofavascular necrosis, the extent and pattern ofbone death and revascularisation and also the role played by avascular necrosis in non-union of these fractures, remain unanswered. In the hope that a hist...
متن کاملAvascular Necrosis of the Femoral Head
Since the recent publication of studies of the vascular pattern of the proximal femoral epiphysis in man by Tucker (1949), Trueta and Harrison (1953), Judet, Judet, Lagrange and Dunoyer (1955), and Trueta (1957) there has been a renewed interest in the mechanism of capital necrosis after fractures of the femoral neck. The literature on the subject is so extensive that no effort will be made her...
