Initial treatment includes physical therapy and ankle-foot orthosis. Physical therapy mainly focuses on preventing deformation by stretching the posterior ankle capsule. A special brace or splint worn inside the shoe (called an Ankle Foot Orthosis) holds the foot in the best position for walking. Orthosis stretches posterior ankle structures ...
Chandler's disease, also known as idiopathic avascular osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ANFH or ONFH), is a rare condition in which the bone cells in the head of the femur (FH) die due to lack of blood. This disease is caused when blood flow is reduced to the part of a bone near a joint.
Avascular necrosis; Other names: Osteonecrosis, [1] bone infarction, [2] aseptic necrosis, [1] ischemic bone necrosis [1] Femoral head showing a flap of cartilage due to avascular necrosis (osteochondritis dissecans). Specimen removed during total hip replacement surgery. Specialty: Orthopedics: Symptoms: Joint pain, decreased ability to move ...
Femoral nerve dysfunction, also known as femoral neuropathy, is a rare type of peripheral nervous system disorder that arises from damage to nerves, specifically the femoral nerve. [1] Given the location of the femoral nerve, indications of dysfunction are centered around the lack of mobility and sensation in lower parts of the legs.
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.

The pathology of avascular necrosis followed by revascularization and bony remodeling of the femoral head in the dog certainly suggests a vascular etiology, though the cause of the condition is not completely understood. [40] Hip pain is usually seen by the age of 6 to 8 months. [41] The disease is bilateral in 12–16% of cases. [42]
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 ...
Offset of the femoral head with regard to most prominent aspect of the femora neck >10 mm Offset percentage Femoral head-neck offset related to femoral head diameter >0.18 less indicates high risk of cam type impingement; Tönnis angle Slope of the sourcil (the sclerotic weight-bearing portion of the acetabulum) 0 to 10°
