Avascular necrosis (AVN) of the femoral head is a disease, characterized by the death of osteocytes and bone marrow, leading to collapse of the femoral head and dysfunction of the hip joint. There are many known risk factors for the development of this disease including trauma of the hip joint, hemoglobinopathy, alcoholism, taking corticosteroids, collagenosis, etc. Conservative treatment (drug therapy using vascular drugs, bisphosphonates, chondroprotectors, NSAIDs, physiotherapy, exercise therapy) is shown for any stage of the hip AVN, however, surgical treatment has a higher potential. The key to successful treatment is the detection of AVN at an early (pre-collapse) stage to prevent subsequent collapse by performing organ-sparing surgical interventions that reduce the rate of disease progression and allow delaying of the hip replacement. The literature describes a number of organ-preserving operations performed at an early stage of AVN. Currently, there are three main areas of surgical treatment of this disease: classical decompression of the femoral head, decompression using various types of grafts and combined treatment using various cellular technologies. This literature review is devoted to the consideration of the indications for implementation, as well as the results of treatment of patients using the above techniques.

Analyzed the features of the surgical treatment of carbuncles. The severity of the purulent-necrotic process was assessed, the significance of the timely diagnosis of the inflammatory stage and the choice of the timing of surgical treatment is shown. The features of the options of surgical tactics - from gentle to radical surgical interventions, methods of intraoperative assessment of tissue viability in the inflammatory focus are described. The necessity of a differentiated approach to the treatment of carbuncles depending on the stage of the disease, the prevalence of the pathological process and its localization is substantiated. The significance of restorative skin-plastic surgery in the replacement of postnecrectomy defects of epithelial tissues in the treatment of extensive carbuncles is shown. Ways of improving the results of treatment of patients with carbuncles are outlined, including timely diagnosis, a differentiated approach to surgical treatment, rational antibacterial therapy, and adequate general treatment.

SummaryThe treatment of femoral head necrosis of adults is still rather problematic. Conservative treatment has been reported relatively unsuccessful and surgical treatment does not show convincing results either. The most effective seems to be a surgical treatment in early stages of the disease, however, the diagnosis still remains relatively complicated. For the late stages (2B and above) the most effective treatment option is represented by core decompression and vascular grafting. However, drilling and plombage (especially when using press-fit technique) seems to be successful, although not excellent. The authors describe their own method of drilling and plombage of the necrotic zone of the femoral head in 41 patients with X-ray detected necrotic changes of the femoral head. The pain measured by VAS was seen to decrease after surgery in all patients significantly. The Jacobs score was also observed to have increased (from fair to good outcome). We have not observed any large femoral head collapse after surgery, moreover, in some cases an improvement of the round shape of the femoral head was seen. It is important to mention that in all cases femoral heads with existing necrotic changes (flattening or collapse) were treated. Although the clinical improvement after surgery was not significantly high, the method we describe is a safe and simple method of diminishing pain in attempt to prepare the femoral head for further treatment in a future, without significant restriction of the indication due to necrosis (osteochondroplasty, resurfacing, THR).

The aim: To conduct an analysis of the complex treatment of severe forms of rectal abscesses complicated by NF. Materials and methods: The results of treatment in 471 patients with deep forms of RA was performed. In 38(8%) the spread of the process and rotten-necrotic affection of the perineal fascia. Patients were treated at the surgical clinic of the medical faculty №2, VNPMMU, and Vinnytsya Clinical Emergency Hospital in the period from 2010-2018. Results: Total lethality 8(1,7%). Mortality in GF was 8(19,5%). It is worth noting the reduction of the treatment duration against the background of the modern technologies usage in the period from 2016 to 12 days in relation to the total figure of 15 days. Conclusions: Early surgical treatment, adequate necrectomy, fasciotomy and antibacterial therapy stop the necrotic process. The active aspiration reduces the timing of wound cleansing and further ensures the accelerated implementation of reconstructive surgical interventions.

The major complications following total hip replacement (THA) are implant loosening, dislocation, instability, fracture and infection. It is hypothesized that vibration, in the range of the resonance frequencies, may cause pain, bone degeneration and fracture. A further understanding of the physical response resulting from impact during femoral head sliding may lead to valuable insight pertaining to THA failure. Therefore, the first objective of this present study was to determine if frequencies propagating through the hip joint near resonant frequencies may lead to wear or loosening of the components. Recently, studies found that femoral head sliding, often referred to as hip separation, between the acetabulum cup and the femoral head does occur, which may also play a role in complications observed with THA today, but a the effects of hip separation and the causes of its occurrence has not been studied as jet. Therefore, the second objective of this study was to determine if a sound sensor, externally attached, could be used to correlate impact loading sounds from femoral head sliding in the acetabular cup. Additional objective of this study was to develop a mathematical model that better simulates the in vivo loading conditions of total hip replacement patients using in vivo fluoroscopic and ground reaction data as input.

Background. As a pathological process, osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is characterized by the avascularity of the femoral head, cellular necrosis, microfracture, and the collapse of the articular surface. Currently, critical treatment for early-stage ONFH is limited to core decompression. However, the efficacy of core decompression remains controversial. To improve the core decompression efficacy, regenerative techniques such as the use of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) were proposed for early-stage ONFH. As a type of autologous plasma containing concentrations of platelets greater than the baseline, PRP plays an important role in tissue repair, regeneration, and the differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). In this review, we present a comprehensive overview of the operation modes, mechanism, and efficacy of PRP for early-stage ONFH treatment. Methods. We searched for relevant studies in the PubMed, Web of Science, and Embase databases. By searching these electronic databases, the identification of either clinical or experimental studies evaluating PRP, MSC, core decompression, and ONFH was our goal. Results. Seventeen studies of PRP and avascular necrosis of the femoral head were evaluated in our review. Ten studies related to the possible mechanism of PRP for treating ONFH were reviewed. Seven studies of the operation modes of PRP in treating ONFH were identified. We reviewed the efficacy of PRP in treating ONFH systematically and made an attempt to compare the PRP operation modes in 7 studies and other operation modes in past studies for early-stage ONFH treatment. Conclusion. PRP treats ONFH mainly through three mechanisms: inducing angiogenesis and osteogenesis to accelerate bone healing, inhibiting inflammatory reactions in necrotic lesions, and preventing apoptosis induced by glucocorticoids. In addition, as an adjunctive therapy for core decompression, the use of PRP is recommended to improve the treatment of early-stage ONFH patients, especially when combined with stem cells and bone grafts, by inducing osteogenic activity and stimulating the differentiation of stem cells in necrotic lesions.

— There are several reports of intravesical foreign bodies, but those due to migration from adjacent organs or tissues are unusual. We report a case of an intravesical acetabular prosthesis in an 81-year-old woman, who 24 years before had a total left hip replacement for severe coxarthrosis, with subseguent removal of the femoral head 3 years later due to rejection. Our case is unusual for the long latency, lack of severe complications and absence in literature of reports of acetabular prosthesis as an intravesical foreign body.
