Femoral osteochondrosis mimicking chronic arthritis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Introduction Osteochondrosis or osteochondritis are alterations characterized by failure in sub-chondral ossification and affects the immature skeleton of children and teenagers. It may affects any epiphysis, apophysis or short bone with similar radiological and anatomopathological characteristics. It has no defined etiology, although there are some risk factors as constitutional predisposing, trauma and ischemia. Femoral osteochondrosis is usually unilateral and can be misdiagnosed as juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). The authors report two patients with bilateral femoral condyle osteochondrosis that were treated as JIA.

Until recently, the cartilage canals of the epiphyseal growth cartilage have not been associated with any specific disease. However, data support the hypothesis that osteochondrosis could be related to inadequate blood supply from vessels in these channels. We have done a study to investigate the relationship between the regression of cartilage canals and the formation of osteochondrosis latens...
