Avascular necrosis of the femoral head

Journal of the American Academy of Physician Assistants, 2014
The avascular necrosis (AVN) or osteonecrosis of the femoral head is a pathologic process, with many etiological factors, that results from interruption of blood supply to the bone and if not managed timely it leads to the collapse of the femoral head.

Femoral Osteotomies for Avascular Necrosis of the Femoral Head

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 2004
Avascular necrosis of the femoral head affects 10,000 to 20,000 people every year and often these patients are in their 30s and 40s. The natural history of this disease is important to understand because the rate of femoral head collapse and treatment options are related to multiple factors including the cause of the disease, its stage at initial ...

Avascular Necrosis of the Femoral Head

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1977
To the Editor.— The article by Drs Appell and Weiss (236:2886, 1976) entitled "Retroperitoneal Fibrosis and Avascular Necrosis of the Femoral Head" suggests an association between these two diseases. I am aware of only one other case report of this association, and it is in a recent article.

Avascular Necrosis of the Femoral Head: Vascular Hypotheses

Endothelium, 2006
Vascular hypotheses provide compelling pathogenic mechanisms for the etiology of avascular necrosis of the femoral head (ANFH). A decrease in local blood flow of the femoral head has been postulated to be the cause of the disease. Several studies in human and animal models of ANFH have shown microvascular thrombosis.

Avascular Necrosis of the Femoral Head After Femoral Neck Fracture

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 2002
Trauma-induced avascular necrosis of the femoral head represents the most common femoral head aseptic necrosis. An alteration in blood supply to the femoral head is the cause of the vascular necrosis. Another mechanism in the genesis of femoral head necrosis is the tamponade effect.
