Functional Bone Investigation in Osteonecrosis of the Femoral Head

On seventeen hips, we performed the measurement of bone marrow pressure and the intramedullary venography in the proximal femur to study the haemodynamics of the medullary circulation. In case of bone necrosis, the baseline pressure was above 30mmHg, or the pressure elevation by stress test was more...

Summary:On seventeen hips, we performed the measurement of bone marrow pressure and the intramedullary venography in the proximal femur to study the haemodynamics of the medullary circulation. In case of bone necrosis, the baseline pressure was above 30mmHg, or the pressure elevation by stress test was more than 10mmHg above the baseline at five minutes after the injection of 5ml of normal saline.
