Twenty-two patients with unreduced hip dislocation or fracture dislocation were prospectively evaluated. Intraosseous aspiration, marrow fluid analysis and core biopsy histological analysis was performed from the supero-lateral (test group) and central part (control group) of the femoral head. After appropriate surgical treatment and postoperative management, they were followed up for 2 years by clinical, radiological and magnetic resonance imaging evaluation. Eight patients eventually developed avascular necrosis (AVN) of the femoral head. The analysis of test samples revealed that 9 patients had an aspirate volume of < 1 cc ; marrow morphology of 11 hips showed necrotic cells; 12 patients had a core biopsy histology suggestive of dead osseous fragments and necrotic osteocytes. In contrast, all the control samples had an aspirate volume of > 1cc and showed viable cells on histology. Intra-operative assessment of marrow-aspirate volume (< 1cc), marrow morphology and core biopsy histology from the superolateral part of femur head can fairly predict the development of subsequent ONFH after trauma; the correlation is statistically significant (p < 0.05).
对22例未复位的髋关节脱位或骨折脱位患者进行了前瞻性评估。从股骨头的上外侧(试验组)和中央部分(对照组)进行骨髓穿刺、骨髓液分析和核心活检组织学分析。经过适当的手术治疗和术后管理,通过临床、放射学和磁共振成像评估对他们进行了2年的随访。8例患者最终发生了股骨头缺血性坏死(AVN)。试验样本分析显示,9例患者的穿刺抽液量<1cc;11个髋关节的骨髓形态显示有坏死细胞;12例患者的核心活检组织学提示有死骨碎片和坏死骨细胞。相比之下,所有对照样本的穿刺抽液量>1cc,且组织学显示为活细胞。术中对股骨头外侧部分的骨髓穿刺抽液量(<1cc)、骨髓形态和核心活检组织学进行评估,可以较为准确地预测创伤后随后发生的股骨头缺血性坏死的发展;相关性具有统计学意义(p<0.05)。
