Osteonecrosis of the Femoral Head Caused by Bone Marrow Blockage: A Case Report

Osteonecrosis of the Femoral Head Caused by Bone Marrow Blockage: A Case Report

Interruption of the blood flow may occur in intraosseous arteries within the femoral head. We report a 72-year-old woman who developed osteonecrosis of the femoral head 11 months after surgery involving massive cementing of a segmental distal femoral rotating hinge prosthesis to treat nonunion of th...
