The 2003 Marshall R. Urist Award Paper - Genetic background of osteonecrosis: Associated with thrombophilic mutations?
(2004)
Intravascular coagulation is considered a major pathogenetic mechanism for nontraumatic osteonecrosis. The aim of our study was to evaluate the association of thrombophilic factor V G1691A mutation (factor V Leiden) and ...
An MRI-based semiautomated volumetric quantification of hip osteonecrosis
(2001)
Objective: To objectively and precisely define the spatial distribution of osteonecrosis and to investigate the influence of various factors including etiology. Design: A volumetric method is presented to describe the size ...
Fast sequences MR imaging at the investigation of painful skeletal sites in patients with hip osteonecrosis
(2015)
Background: Multiple osteonecrotic foci can be clinically silent when located in metaphyses and becomes painful when it affects juxta-articular areas. The purpose of this study was to assess the value of fast MR imaging ...
Predictive role of cytokine gene polymorphisms for the development of femoral head osteonecrosis
(2012)
Introduction: Osteonecrosis (ON) is a multifactorial disease that leads to hip destruction. Lately, much focus has been at femoral head preservation with nonsurgical methods. In this study we examined the polymorphisms of ...
Outcome after tantalum rod implantation for treatment of femoral head osteonecrosis
(2009)
Background and purpose Tantalum rod implantation has recently been proposed for treatment of early stages of femoral head osteonecrosis. The purpose of our study was to report the early results of its use in pre- and ...
MR imaging findings in transient osteoporosis of the hip
(2004)
Purpose: The authors sought to describe the magnetic resonance (MR) imaging findings including perfusion imaging, in association with the course of acute bone marrow oedema syndrome (aBMEs), in a group of patients with ...
A capsular-based vascularized distal radius graft for proximal pole scaphoid pseudarthrosis
(2006)
Purpose: To evaluate the clinical results of the application of a capsular-based dorsal distal radius vascularized bone graft in scaphoid proximal pole nonunions. Methods: Thirteen patients with symptomatic nonunion at the ...
Vascularized bone grafts from the palmar radius for the treatment of waist nonunions of the scaphoid
(2006)
Purpose: With their intrinsic vascularity vascularized bone grafts provide an alternative solution to the challenging problem of scaphoid nonunions. The union rate (after imaging evaluation including magnetic resonance ...
Vascularized periosteal flaps of distal forearm and hand
(2005)
Background: Vascularized periosteal flaps (VPFs) are flexible osteogenic flaps, suitable for the reconstruction of small skeletal defects. Pedicled VPFs, harvested near the recipient site, minimize donor-site morbidity and ...
Scaphoid nonunions: Management with vascularized bone grafts from the distal radius: A clinical and functional outcome study
(2007)
Background: Scaphoid nonunions remain controversial with regard to optimal management, especially for those located at the proximal third. In this study, the authors aim to assess the union rate, avascular proximal pole ...
