OBJECTIVE In this report, we present a rare case of avascular necrosis (AVN) in an otherwise healthy 42-year-old male patient treated with low dose oral corticosteroids for his bronchitis. A systematic review of the literature related to AVN and corticosteroids was performed. CASE REPORT Forty-two-year-old male with no underlying conditions predisposing him to AVN who had been treated four ye...

Insufficient blood flow to the proximal femur causes osteonecrosis of femoral head, which is known as head avascular necrosis (AVN). The underlying pathogenesis unclear, risk factors are likely influence microcirculation somewhat, but this has not been confirmed by research. In more than 75% cases, affects head. Methods: From August 2019 March 2022, 4 patients with FBAN were analyzed retrospect...

BACKGROUND The optimal treatment of osteonecrosis of the femoral head has not been established yet. The aim of this study was to report preliminary clinical results of focal anatomic-resurfacing implantation for the treatment of osteonecrosis of the femoral head. METHODS Five patients (four male, one female) with seven surgical procedures, ages between 37 and 52 with an average age of 45.2 (+...

OBJECTIVES Our specific aim in 49 patients (42 women, 7 men) with osteonecrosis of the jaw was to determine whether thrombophilia (increased tendency to intravascular thrombosis) or hypofibrinolysis (reduced ability to lyse thrombi) were associated with this regional avascular necrosis. STUDY DESIGN Determinants of thrombosis and fibrinolysis were compared in healthy controls and in 42 women ...

Aseptic osteonecrosis is a frequent pathology. It corresponds to epiphyseal bone necrosis, secondary ischemic and/or cytotoxic mechanisms. not specific disease, but rather the final outcome of various pathological situations in which there disturbance intraosseous circulation femoral head. This explains usual names avascular necrosis or aseptic necrosis. may be unilateral, bilateral multifocal....
