    • Paraoxonase 1 gene polymorphisms in patients with osteonecrosis of the femoral head with and without cerebral white matter lesions 

      Hadjigeorgiou, G. M.; Malizos, K.; Dardiotis, E.; Aggelakis, K.; Dardioti, M.; Zibis, A.; Dimitroulias, A.; Scarmeas, N.; Tsezou, A.; Karantanas, A. (2007)
      Cerebral white matter lesions (WML) are present in more than 50% of patients with osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH). Paraoxonase 1(PON1) gene product is a detoxifying and pesticide metabolizing enzyme. Genetic ...
    • Potential aetiological factors concerning the development of osteonecrosis of the femoral head 

      Zalavras, C.; Dailiana, Z.; Elisaf, M.; Bairaktari, E.; Vlachogiannopoulos, P.; Katsaraki, A.; Malizos, K. N. (2000)
      Background The aetiology and pathogenesis of non-traumatic osteonecrosis (ON) of the femoral head have not been fully elucidated. The present study was conducted to evaluate the possible correlation of relevant haematological ...
    • The role of MR imaging in scaphoid disorders 

      Karantanas, A.; Dailiana, Z.; Malizos, K. (2007)
      The scaphoid bone of the wrist is one of the most commonly fractured bones in the body. Due to its importance in the biomechanics and functionality of the wrist, it is important to depict and characterize the type of injury. ...
    • The role of MR imaging in staging femoral head osteonecrosis 

      Zibis, A. H.; Karantanas, A. H.; Roidis, N. T.; Hantes, M. E.; Argiri, P.; Moraitis, T.; Malizos, K. N. (2007)
      Reliability, accuracy and prognostic value of any classification system are important in evaluation and treatment of femoral head osteonecrosis. The purpose of the present study was to correlate the plain radiographs with ...
    • Synovial fluid metabolites in osteonecrosis 

      Huffman, K. M.; Bowers, J. R.; Dailiana, Z.; Huebner, J. L.; Urbaniak, J. R.; Kraus, V. B. (2007)
      Objectives. Osteonecrosis of the femoral head results from interruption of the vascular supply and eventual death of the cellular portion of bone. Effective methods of monitoring response to treatment are needed. Our aim ...
