Abstract
A patient suffering from transient osteoporosis of the hip sustained a fracture of the ipsilateral collum femoris. Total hip replacement was performed. The complete specimen of the proximal femur was subjected to histological examination. The histological findings were consistent with the reparation stage of ischemic bone necrosis of the femoral head. Whether transient osteoporosis of the hip is a transient, i.e., self-recovering ischemic necrosis of the femoral head, is discussed.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
