Revascularization of the Femoral Head in Osteonecrosis

Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, 1998
Osteonecrosis of the femoral head accounts for as many as 18% of total hip arthroplasties performed in western countries. The young age of affected patients and the potentially poor outcome have sparked an interest in alternative treatment modalities. Extracapsular placement of a vascularized fibular graft in the subchondral region of the femoral head ...

Osteonecrosis of the Femoral Head: Femoral Head Sparing Treatments

Seminars in Arthroplasty, 2010
Osteonecrosis is a debilitating disease that affects patients with a varying degree of severity. Treatment for severe progression of the disease often includes total hip arthroplasty or resurfacing procedures. In a younger patient population, the preservation of the femoral head is desirable in cases where the integrity of the femoral head can be ...

Osteonecrosis of the femoral head and pregnancy

Clinical Rheumatology, 1982
The authors report 7 anatomo-clinical cases of osteonecrosis of the femoral head, the clinical onset of which occurred during pregnancy or in the fortnight after delivery. On the basis of histological data obtained through core-biopsy in these 7 cases they discuss the relationship between osteonecrosis and reflex sympathetic dystrophy of the hip.

Osteonecrosis of the femoral head: genetic basis

International Orthopaedics, 2018
Genetic factors and hereditary forms of osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) have been elucidated through genetic association studies. The significance of these cases is that they suggest an alternative hypothesis to the development of the disease.

Osteonecrosis of the femoral head

The Bone & Joint Journal, 2013
Symptomatic hip osteonecrosis is a disabling condition with a poorly understood aetiology and pathogenesis. Numerous treatment options for hip osteonecrosis are described, which include non-operative management and joint preserving procedures, as well as total hip replacement (THR). Non-operative or joint preserving treatment may improve outcomes when

Osteonecrosis of the femoral head extending into the femoral neck

Skeletal Radiology, 2012
Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is an ischemic disorder that can lead to femoral head collapse and secondary osteoarthritis. Although the condition is usually limited to the femoral head, we report a rare case of biopsy-proven ONFH extending into the femoral neck, which required hip replacement surgery.

OSTEONECROSIS OF THE FEMORAL HEAD

The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery. British volume, 1997
We performed a prospective study using MRI to evaluate early necrosis of the femoral head in 48 patients receiving high-dose corticosteroids for the treatment of various autoimmune-related disorders. The mean interval from the initiation of corticosteroid therapy to the first MRI examination was 2 months (0.5 to 6).

OSTEONECROSIS OF THE FEMORAL HEAD

The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery-American Volume, 2005
The present study evaluates the minimum five-year results of vascularized fibular grafting for the treatment of osteonecrosis of the femoral head. The purposes of the present study were to review the results of fibular grafting in a large series of patients and to determine the indications for this procedure.Eighty-six patients (101 hips) were followed

SPONTANEOUS RESOLUTION OF OSTEONECROSIS OF THE FEMORAL HEAD

The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery-American Volume, 2004
The decision to proceed with surgical treatment of asymptomatic osteonecrosis of the femoral head is controversial. The purpose of the present study was to determine (1) if spontaneous resolution of osteonecrosis of the femoral head occurs, (2) how long it takes for resolution to occur, and (3) if there are predictors of spontaneous resolution.Patients
