Treatment of Avascular Necrosis of the Femoral Head with Bone Graft and Interference Screw
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Osteonecrosis of the femoral head occurs predominantly in younger patients, and without treatment most of them suffer from collapse of the femoral head and painful arthritis of the hip joint within several years. The ideal goal of early treatment is to delay or arrest the progression of the disease before articular collapse occurs. It has been well documented that without specific treatment approximately 70% to 80% of hips with clinically established avascular necrosis have radiologic and clinical progression, which leads to collapse of the femoral head [3-5].

Avascular 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...

Sickle cell trait is a benign haemoglobin disorder which rarely results in disease or complications. A few cases of osteonecrosis have been reported in the literature in parts of the world with advanced health care system. There are various predispositions to developing avascular necrosis in general, while the sickle beta globin gene inheritance is the most efficient factor. Injection drug abus...
متن کاملCan three-phase skeletal scintigraphy predict the outcome and determine the timing of removal of bone distracters in avascular necrosis of femur using a novel corticostomy technique?
Introduction: 99mTc-Methylene diphosphonate (99mTc-MDP) three phase bone scintigraphy (TPS) is beneficial to evaluate the success of femoral head revascularization using novel distraction osteogenesis techniques with bone muscle pedicle grafts. This pilot study was undertaken to evaluate the feasibility and utility of 99mTc-MDP three phase bone ...
متن کاملOpen reduction, internal fixation and fibular autografting for neglected fracture of the femoral neck.
Neglected fractures of the femoral neck, common in young adults in underdeveloped countries, may be complicated by nonunion or avascular necrosis (AVN). We treated 52 cases by open reduction, fixation by compression screw and a free fibular graft. The mean delay between injury and operation was 5.1 months. Of 40 fractures assessed at a mean of 58.8 months (24 to 153), 38 were found to be united...
