Pediatric Transepiphyseal Seperation and Dislocation of the Femoral Head

Case Reports in Orthopedics, 2013
Pediatric hip fractures and dislocations are rare in practice and are related to high-energy trauma. The incidence of postoperative avascular necrosis is increasing, especially in the case of transepiphyseal fractures.

Integrated probability of coronary heart disease subject to the -308 tumor necrosis factor-alpha SNP: a Bayesian meta-analysis [PDF]

, 2015
We present a meta-analysis of independent studies on the potential implication in the occurrence of coronary heart disease (CHD) of the single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) at the -308 position of the tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) gene. We use Bayesian analysis to integrate independent data sets and to infer statistically robust measurements ...

Pravastatin Protects Against Avascular Necrosis of Femoral Head via Autophagy

Frontiers in Physiology, 2018
Autophagy serves as a stress response and may contribute to the pathogenesis of avascular necrosis of the femoral head induced by steroids. Statins promote angiogenesis and ameliorate endothelial functions through apoptosis inhibition and necrosis of ...

Idiopathic avascular maxillary necrosis: A case report

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Cases, 2023
Osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) is a rare phenomenon that usually occurs in individuals exposed to certain medications, radiation, or physical or chemical insults that ultimately result in compromised vascularity of the jaws. However, in some cases, it is

Treatment Trade‐Offs and Choices for Femoral Fractures: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Orthopaedic Surgery, EarlyView.
This review examines the trade‐offs between surgical intervention and traction therapy for adult and elderly patients with femoral fractures and surgical contraindications, particularly in resource‐limited settings. While intramedullary nailing may offer better clinical outcomes, traction therapy is often preferred due to limited surgical resources ...

Bisphosphonate combination therapy for non-femoral avascular necrosis

Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research, 2019
Background Avascular necrosis at sites other than femoral head (AVNOFH)/Non-Femoral AVN is a rare entity. No standard of treatment still exists for treating early stages of AVNOFH with most of the cases eventually progressing to a late arthritic stage ...

Anomalous Advection-Diffusion Models for Avascular Tumour Growth [PDF]

arXiv, 2019
In this study, we model avascular tumour growth in epithelial tissue. This can help us to get a macroscopic view of the interaction between the tumour with its surrounding microenvironment and the physical changes within the tumour spheroid. This understanding is likely to assist in the development of better diagnostics, improved therapies and ...

The Choice of Hip Arthroplasty: HRA or THA? Revealed by Meta‐Analysis

Orthopaedic Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is the gold standard for end‐stage hip arthrosis, while hip resurfacing arthroplasty (HRA) is considered a more bone‐conserving alternative. This meta‐analysis aimed to compare the safety and clinical efficacy of HRA and THA.

The role of electrical stimulation in the management of avascular necrosis of the femoral head in adults: a systematic review

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2017
Background Avascular necrosis of the femoral head causes significant morbidity and occurs in up to 20,000 people per year. A variety of nonoperative and operative measures have been trialled however a definitive treatment algorithm is yet to be ...

Can Knee Arthroscopy Be Considered Entirely Safe for Patients Over 50 Years Old With no Risk of Osteonecrosis? Case Series and Literature Review on Post‐Artrhoscopy Osteonecrosis of the Knee (PAONK)

Orthopaedic Surgery, EarlyView.
Post‐arthroscopy osteonecrosis is a rare complication occurring in 0.82% of cases, primarily affecting patients over 50 with degenerative meniscal tears. Early detection through MRI and conservative treatment, including bisphosphonates and weight‐bearing avoidance, proved effective in most cases, while some required surgical intervention.
