Necrotic bone and inflammation histology slide. The current etiology or origin of this disease is unknown. Some studies theorized that bone remodeling is maintained in a microenvironment in the FH meaning that there is a greater local component to changes to the femoral head than the normal systemic way that bone remodeling is handled throughout the body.
Other techniques, such as metal-on-metal resurfacing, may not be suitable in all cases of avascular necrosis; its suitability depends on how much damage has occurred to the femoral head. [23] Bisphosphonates, which reduce the rate of bone breakdown, may prevent collapse (specifically of the hip) due to AVN. [24]
Stage 3 - Dead bone with repair and with collapse Stage 4 - Secondary degenerative arthritis In a study of bone lesions in 281 compressed air workers done by Walder in 1969, [ clarification needed ] 29% of the lesions were in the humeral head (shoulder), 16% in the femoral head (hip), 40% in the lower end of the femur (lower thigh at the knee ...
The medial circumflex femoral artery is the principal source of blood supply to the femoral head. LCP disease is a vascular restrictive condition of idiopathic nature. Symptoms like femoral head disfigurement, flattening, and collapse occur typically between ages four and ten, mostly male children of Caucasian descent.
Staging according to Ficat classification ranges between normal appearance (stage I), slight increased density in the femoral head (stage II), subchondral collapse of the femoral head with or without “crescent” sign (stage III), and advanced collapse with secondary osteoarthritis (stage IV).
Medical condition Osteochondritis dissecans A large flap lesion in the femur head typical of late stage Osteochondritis dissecans. In this case, the lesion was caused by avascular necrosis of the bone just under the cartilage.

Detroit Pistons guard Jaden Ivey was enjoying a career year, which will now have to be put on hold. The 2022 fifth overall pick underwent surgery on Thursday to repair a broken fibula in his left ...
A radiograph of a left hip joint, which reveals a thin, curvilinear lucent line parallel to the cortical margin of the femoral head, in a patient with avascular necrosis. In radiology, the crescent sign is a finding on conventional radiographs that is associated with avascular necrosis.
