Microfractures in the head of the femur

The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery, 1975
Microfractures of the trabeculae were studied in the femoral heads of three different population groups. The femoral heads were sliced and then examined with a dissecting microscope. Microfractures were found in large numbers in specimens from British patients who had suffered femoral-neck fracture, and in smaller numbers in femoral heads -aken routine

The radiological evaluation of the hip joint after prosthetic arthroplasty of the proximal femur in patients with a tumour using a bipolar femoral head.

The Bone & Joint Journal, 2015
Excision of the proximal femur for tumour with prosthetic reconstruction using a bipolar femoral head places a considerable load on the unreplaced acetabulum. We retrospectively reviewed the changes which occur around the affected hip joint by evaluating

[Idiopathic femur head necrosis in the adult--results of surgical therapy].

Zeitschrift für Orthopädie und ihre Grenzgebiete, 2008
In this paper a review is given first on the various techniques in the operative treatment of the idiopathic necrosis of the femoral head in the adult. Because of the high rate of pseudarthrosis (50%) arthrodesis is rarely done today.

[Post-traumatic femur head necrosis following trochanter fracture].

Zeitschrift für Orthopädie und ihre Grenzgebiete, 2008
Avascular necrosis of the femoral head after fractures of the major or minor trochanter have not been published yet. We are able to present such a casereport of a 12 years old girl. We discuss the different reasons for femoral head necrosis by this case.

[The asterisk sign and adult ischemic femur head necrosis].

RöFo. Fortschritte auf dem Gebiet der Röntgenstrahlen und der bildgebenden Verfahren (Print), 1985
The asterisk sign is a stellate density, which is seen normally in the femoral head on computed tomography. It is due to the demonstration of the trabeculae in the femoral head.

FRACTURES OF THE HEAD OF THE FEMUR

Archives of Surgery, 1926
Fractures of the head of the femur are exceedingly rare. The first case to be reported in the literature was in 1869 by Birkett. 1 Since then thirteen other cases have been reported. In at least four of these the pathology is somewhat doubtful. I add the fifteenth case and an analysis of the series. REPORT OF CASE Miss H.

OSTEOCHONDRITIS OF THE HEAD OF THE FEMUR

Archives of Surgery, 1933
The exact etiology of osteochondritis of the head of the femur 1 is still undetermined. Various theories of the cause of this disease have been advanced, the most reasonable of which may be considered under the headings of infection, trauma, embolism and maldevelopment.

TREATMENT OF THE NECROTIC HEAD OF THE FEMUR IN ADULTS

The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery, 1949
Two cases of necrosis of the head of the femur, one associated with an ununited fracture of the neck and the other with an ununited fracture at the junction of the head and neck, which developed after healing of a primary fracture located distally in the neck, were treated by drilling two holes across the neck and upper portion of the head and the ...

The development of the ligament of the head of the femur

Clinical Anatomy, 1991
AbstractThe hip joints of 30 human male and female fetuses and stillborns between 20 mm and 350 mm crown‐rump length were studied by light microscopy.The ligament of the head of the femur developed in situ as a condensation of mesenchyme at the end of the second month of intra‐uterine life (IUL), and was vascularized by branches of acetabular vessels ...

Traumatic Separation of Epiphyses of Head of Femur

The British Journal of Radiology, 1929
Development. During the development of the upper end of the femur the boundary line between the diaphysis and epiphysis alters its relationship very considerably. In infancy the head, neck and both trochanters are represented by a common cartilaginous mass, but, as age advances, the head and trochanters become separated by the neck growing up from the ...
