[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 کاملIntertrochanteric osteotomy for avascular necrosis of the femoral head.
Of 24 intertrochanteric osteotomies for avascular necrosis of the femoral head, 22 were followed up for an average of 63 months. Sixteen of the 22 cases had good or excellent results, including 5 of the 6 cases with Stage II disease and 11 of the 16 with Stage III changes. Success seemed to be inversely related to the size of the lesion. There were six major orthopaedic complications, but despi...
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 کاملTotal hip arthroplasty after failed curved intertrochanteric varus osteotomy for avascular necrosis of the femoral head
Curved intertrochanteric varus osteotomy (CVO) is one of the good surgical procedures for avascular necrosis of the femoral head (ANFH) patients. However, some patients with failed CVO are converted to total hip arthroplasty (THA) as a salvage operation. We compared the clinical and radiographic outcomes of 10 hips converted to THA after failed CVO (Group O) (mean age 43.0 years, 8 male and 2 f...
متن کاملEarly prediction of femoral head avascular necrosis following neck fracture.
Femoral neck fracture puts at risk functional prognosis in young patients and can be life-threatening in the elderly. The present study reviews methods of femoral head vascularity assessment following neck fracture, to address the following issues: what is the risk of osteonecrosis? And what, in the light of this risk, is the best-adapted treatment to avoid iterative surgery? Femoral head vascu...
