Did you mean: necrolysis
If the fracture is left untreated, there may be non-union and/or avascular necrosis - these are described in more detail below. Longer term consequences can include chronic pain and a loss of...
If complications such as avascular necrosis are suspected (see below), an MRI scan or a special bone scan may be suggested.
The brachial artery can be injured with a humeral shaft fracture but this is rare. Avascular necrosis If the blood supply to bone is damaged, that bit of bone dies. This is called ...
The recurrent trauma is thought to cause microfractures and lead to avascular necrosis of the lunate (Kienböck's disease). This may result in eventual collapse of the lunate and asso...
The main possible complication of the harness is called avascular necrosis. This is uncommon (about 2 in 100 babies treated with the harness) but sometimes occurs if the hip is not held in th...
It may reduce the rate of avascular necrosis (AVN) in unstable slipped capital femoral epiphysis. Complications [ 4 , 10 ] Chondrolysis (degeneration of the articular cart...
Characteristic features include: The essential lesion is loss of blood supply (avascular necrosis) of the nucleus of the proximal femoral epiphysis. Abnormal growth of the epiphysis ...
Vascular injury: not as frequent as with anterior dislocations. Avascular necrosis of the femoral head: risk increases the longer the hip is dislocated. [ 2 ] Secondary osteoarthritis...
This is called 'avascular necrosis'. The amount of bone damage can vary from mild to severe. The exact cause of the blood vessel problem that occurs in the first place is not known...
When articular surfaces become ischaemic, osteochondritis develops - this is associated with avascular necrosis and sclerosis. Aetiology Osteochondrosis results from abnormal developm...
Other potential complications include non-union, avascular necrosis, compartment syndromes, vascular injuries, post-traumatic ankle deformities and tarsal tunnel syndrome.
This leads to blood flow abnormalities resulting in avascular necrosis. [ 2 ] How common is Köhler's disease? (Epidemiology) Köhler's bone disease is rare.
A recent meta-analysis concluded that plate fixation was associated with a higher rate of avascular necrosis than conservative management [ 7 ] . Fracture dislocations and fractures of the...
The humeral head may degenerate as a result of a range of conditions, particularly osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis or avascular necrosis. The whole or only part of the articular surface ...
The fractures deprive the epiphysis of adequate circulation, and there is avascular necrosis of the metatarsal head. Although the second metatarsal is most often affected, the third metata...
Fracture non-union This occurs when the bone fragments of the fracture do not heal or join back together in the normal way. Avascular necrosis This is more likely if you have an in...
For example, a low level of platelets, which can cause easy bruising and a type of anaemia called haemolytic anaemia. Avascular necrosis of the bone (also called osteonecrosis). Bones ...
Due to the vulnerability of the blood supply to the scaphoid, scaphoid fractures have a high risk of non-union and avascular necrosis with subsequent osteoarthritis; early diagnosis and treat...
Developmental conditions Perthes' disease is an idiopathic avascular necrosis/osteonecrosis of the femoral epiphysis (usually affecting those aged 4-10 years and peaking between 5...
Osteoporosis. Avascular necrosis of bone. Skin sepsis. Electrolyte disturbance: hypokalaemia, metabolic alkalosis.
