  2. Avascular necrosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avascular_necrosis

    Avascular necrosis (AVN), also called osteonecrosis or bone infarction, is death of bone tissue due to interruption of the blood supply. [1] Early on, there may be no symptoms. [ 1 ] Gradually joint pain may develop, which may limit the person's ability to move. [ 1 ]

  3. Limb infarction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limb_infarction

    The major tissues affected are nerves and muscles, where irreversible damage starts to occur after 4–6 hours of cessation of blood supply. [4] Skeletal muscle, the major tissue affected, is still relatively resistant to infarction compared to the heart and brain because its ability to rely on anaerobic metabolism by glycogen stored in the cells may supply the muscle tissue long enough for ...

    For treatment, Panner Disease heals well in children with rest and restriction of physical activity and sports using the affected arm. The prognosis is also good with treatment and the affected capitellum is remodeled. Irregularities of the capitellum and surrounding elbow area can both be seen by radiograph and MRI.

    [3] [5] The third (middle finger) metacarpal head has been reported to be the most common site of necrosis. [6] Though osteonecrosis is a fairly common condition, many cases of avascular necrosis of the metacarpal head go without being diagnosed. This is because presentation of symptoms is variable depending on the patient.

  6. Vertebral compression fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertebral_compression_fracture

    Treatment [ edit ] A potential complication of a vertebral compression fracture is avascular necrosis of the vertebral body, which is called Kümmel's disease , and may appear with the intravertebral vacuum cleft sign (at white arrow in image).

  7. Kienböck's disease - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kienböck's_disease

    Specifically, Kienböck's disease is another name for avascular necrosis [2] (death and fracture of bone tissue due to interruption of blood supply) with fragmentation and collapse of the lunate. This has classically been attributed to arterial disruption, but may also occur after events that produce venous congestion with elevated interosseous ...

  8. Scaphoid fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scaphoid_fracture

    Avascular necrosis (AVN) is one complication of scaphoid fracture. Since the scaphoid receives its arterial supply in a retrograde fashion (i.e. from distal to proximal pole), the part proximal to the fracture is usually affected. [5] Risk of AVN depends on the location of the fracture.
