Skeletal immaturity, rostral sparing, and disparate hip morphologies as biomechanical causes for Legg-Calvé-Perthes’ disease [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Legg-Calvé-Perthes' (Perthes') disease is a developmental disease of the hip joint that may result in numerous short and long term problems. The etiology of the disease remains largely unknown, but the mechanism is believed to be vascular and/or ...

Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease and the risk of injuries requiring hospitalization [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Background and purpose Previous studies have suggested that Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease (LCPD) is associated with repetitive trauma, coagulation problems and anatomical abnormalities of the blood supply to the femoral head. The hypothesis that repetitive

Evaluation of a pig femoral head osteonecrosis model

open access: yesJournal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research, 2010
Background A major cause of osteonecrosis of the femoral head is interruption of a blood supply to the proximal femur. In order to evaluate blood circulation and pathogenetic alterations, a pig femoral head osteonecrosis model was examined to address ...

Predicting the collapse of the femoral head due to osteonecrosis: From basic methods to application prospects

open access: yesJournal of Orthopaedic Translation, 2017
Collapse of the femoral head is the most significant pathogenic complication arising from osteonecrosis of the femoral head. It is related to the disruption of the maintenance of cartilage and bone, and results in an impaired function of the vascular ...

Association between the ossific nucleus and osteonecrosis in treating developmental dysplasia of the Hip: updated meta-analysis. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
BACKGROUND: A meta-analysis concluded that there was no effect of the femoral head ossification and the incidence of osteonecrosis in the treatment of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH), unless only osteonecrosis grades II-IV were considered.
