Metabolic development of necrotic bone in the femoral head following resurfacing arthroplasty: A clinical [18F]fluoride-PET study in 11 asymptomatic hips
Osteonecrosis following resurfacing arthroplasty: A clinical positron emission tomography study of 14 cases
Background and purpose One of the main concerns regarding resurfacing arthroplasty is the viability of the remaining part of the femoral head, and the postoperative risk of a femoral neck fracture or collapse. In contrast to radiographic methods, positron emission tomography using the radiotracer [18F]-fluoride (Fluoride-PET) enables us to visualize the viability of bone in the remaining part of the head, despite the presence of the covering metal component
Differences in hip bone mineral density may explain the hip fracture pattern in osteoarthritic hips
Introduction In patients with osteoarthritis of the hip (OAH), trochanteric fractures are much more common than femoral neck fractures. One reason may be altered bone composition in the proximal femurs. OAH often leads to a fixed external rotation of the hip, leading to difficulties in positioning during DXA measurements. We compared BMD in OAH-affected legs and healthy legs
