Avascular necrosis after a steroid injection.
I read with interest the Clinical Vista Brief about bilateral hip avascular necrosis. I note that the corticosteroid injection was given 8 months before the condition was diagnosed, but the patient had complained of hip pain for 13 months. Cortisone injections (particularly bursa and tendon sheath infiltrations) are extremely common treatments in primary care, but avascular necrosis is rarely s...
متن کاملMultifocal avascular necrosis after short-term high-dose steroid therapy. A report of three cases.
Avascular necrosis of bone is a well-recognised phenomenon in patients on long-term steroid therapy, especially after renal transplantation. There are only four cases reported in the literature of multifocal avascular necrosis after short-term high-dose steroid therapy, and three additional cases are reported in this paper. All the hips have needed reconstructive surgery within two and a half y...
متن کاملAvascular Necrosis of the Scaphoid Preiser Disease
No consensus regarding optimal treatment or etiology of Preiser disease exists. We described the epidemiology,classification and treatment characteristics of 18 patients with Preiser disease. Patients with changes related to previoustrauma, and without radiographs were excluded. Based on the radiographs at diagnosis, we classified 13 scaphoids asHerbert Lanzetta stage II, four...
متن کاملA metabolomic study on early detection of steroid-induced avascular necrosis of the femoral head
The early and accurate diagnosis of steroid-induced avascular necrosis of the femoral head (SANFH) is appealing considering its irreversible progression and serious consequence for the patients. The purpose of this study was to investigate the metabolic change of SANFH for its early detection. Two stages were designed in this study, namely discovery and verification. Except the biochemical inde...
متن کاملBilateral avascular necrosis of the humeral trochleae after chemotherapy.
We describe a patient who developed avascular necrosis of both humeral trochleae after combination chemotherapy for acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. This presented as progressive stiffness of both elbows with little pain. Radiography and MRI confirmed the presence of avascular necrosis at both sites. This region corresponds to a watershed between the medial and lateral vascular arcades which supp...
