Zur Diagnostik der transitorischen Osteoporose der Hüfte und deren Darstellbarkeit in der MR-Tomographie
2008
Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging may distinguish transient osteoporosis of the hip from more severe hip diseases. 12 patients with transient osteoporosis of the hip underwent MR imaging. The initial and follow-up studies included T1- and T2-weighted images in coronal, transverse or sagittal planes. There were revealed 3 stages: diffuse-, focal-, and residual stage. This syndrome is characterized by hip pain, limping, and osteoporosis of the femoral head with preservation of the joint space. The clinical symptoms and abnormalities on MR images disappeared completely within 6-10 months.
Spätsynovektomie des Ellenbogens und Resektion des Radiusköpfchens bei chronischer Polyarthritis
2008
Between 1974 and 1984 16 patients with rheumatoid arthritis, who had elbow synovectomy and excision of the radial head, were revised with an average follow-up of 5 years after operation. Resection of the radial head was performed on 16 elbows, in 3 elbows the ulnar nerve was transposed. The indication for the operation were pain, swelling, warmth and radiological destruction. The parameters used, to assess efficacy of the operation were range of motion, local finding and patient satisfaction. Synovectomy results were good especially in respect of relief of pain and range of motion. The good results justify elbow synovectomy even in the late stages of disease.
Zwei Fälle von Humeruskopfosteolyse unklarer Genese
2008
Taking in account the medical history, the clinical and radiological presentation and the intraoperative and histological findings, two cases of osteolysis of the humeral head of unknown origin are discussed. After exclusion of underlying concomitant diseases a traumatic etiology seemed to be the most probable explanation although in both cases a trauma was denied by the patients. We are unaware of any similar cases published in the literature.
