We report the clinical and biological results of the surgical treatment of a femoral head osteonecrosis, Ficat classification stage III, in a 53 year old patient. The procedure included core decompression followed by insertion of a superficial demineralised and processed fibular bone allograft. A cemented total hip arthroplasty was performed at nine years follow-up. The histomorphological study of the excised f...
A case of exuberant acroosteolysis and subcutaneous tissue calcinosis in the absence of skin involvement is presented. Different hypotheses are discussed following the clinical unfolding of the case in practice.
OBJECTIVES: To determine the frequency of ovarian failure in pre-menopausal women after cyclophosphamide (cyc) treatment for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE); identify risk factors for this complication; estimate the occurrence and viability of pregnancy during and after treatment. METHODS: Review of the data of women treated with intravenous cyc in the department of Rheumatology of Hospitais da Universidade ...
