Necrosis Avascular De La Cabeza Humeral.

Bilateral 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...

Prediction of Stature According to Three Head Measurements Predicción de la Estatura de Acuerdo a Tres Medidas de la Cabeza

Morphometry is a non-invasive method important to assess the size, proportions, and composition of the human body. Because the prediction is an important subject in almost all life sciences, the aim of this research was to find out the cephalofacial variables that may predict the body height. Three cephalofacial variables and the body height were measured on 288 adult male subjects of the Kosov...

Avascular 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...

Etude sur la digestion pancratique de la caseine pour la production de la toxine tetanique

Avascular necrosis of the humeral head treated by core decompression. A retrospective review.

Thirty shoulders, in 20 patients, which had undergone core decompression for symptomatic avascular necrosis of the humeral head were reviewed 2 to 14 years later (average 5.6). Twenty-two showed good or excellent clinical results; the other eight shoulders had required arthroplasty. All 14 shoulders with stage I or II radiological changes (Ficat and Arlet 1980) at operation had good or excellen...
