Osteonecrosis of the femoral head caused by bone marrow blockage: a case report.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Interruption of the blood flow may occur in intra-osseous arteries within the femoral head. We report a 72-year-old woman who developed osteonecrosis of the femoral head 11 months after surgery involving massive cementing of a segmental distal femoral rotating hinge prosthesis to treat nonunion of the distal femur. The bone cement filled the cavity up to the femoral neck and the superolateral portion of the femoral head, blocking the bone marrow.

متن کاملAvailable Findings Fail to Provide Strong Evidence of the Role of Bone Morphogenic Protein-2 in Femoral Head Osteonecrosis
Despite widespread research on non-traumatic femoral head osteonecrosis (FHON), there is no consensus about preventative treatment options. Insufficient blood supply and increased intra-osseous pressure are the initiating events in the majority of cases. BMPs are growth factors that belong to the transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) superfamily. Two specific formulations of BMPs have already bee...
