Nine patients with chronic pain in the wrist were examined by M.R.I. to evaluate its accuracy in the detection of ischaemic necrosis of carpal bones. In seven patients, M.R.I. confirmed scintigraphic and radiographic signs of ischaemic necrosis. In two patients with radionuclide accumulations, M.R.I. did not confirm the diagnosis: in one, M.R.I. was totally normal and in the other it showed signs of a healing scaphoid fracture. From this limited experience, M.R.I. seems to be a sensitive imaging modality which is more specific than scintigraphy.

Dental Rehabilitation After Microvascular Reconstruction of Segmental Jaw Defects: A Ten-Year Follow-Up.
J Clin Med
January 2025
Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, University Hospital of Salzburg, Paracelsus Medical University, 5020 Salzburg, Austria.
: Defects in maxillary and mandibular continuity are common in maxillofacial practice. They can occur after trauma, osteonecrosis, congenital jaw deformities, or surgical resection of benign or malignant tumours. Reconstruction with microvascular bone flaps and subsequent prosthetic rehabilitation is considered the contemporary first line treatment.

Although the advancements in craniomaxillofacial surgery have been significant, ischemic craniomaxillofacial diseases remain challenging to treat due to insufficient blood supply. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) has emerged as a promising adjunctive treatment, exhibiting the potential to promote angiogenesis, exert anti-inflammatory effects, enhance bone regeneration, and possess antibacterial properties. Numerous studies have demonstrated its efficacy in stimulating healing processes, particularly in cases such as medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw, osteoradionecrosis, chronic jaw osteomyelitis, and refractory wounds.

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Tohoku University Graduate School of Medicine, 1-1 Seiryo-machi, Aoba-Ku, Sendai, Miyagi, 980-8574, Japan.
Background: Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) and osteoarthritis (OA) are two common diagnoses for patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA). The early surgical complications in THA for ONFH compared to OA are inconsistently reported. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate whether THA for ONFH was associated with early postoperative complications in comparison to THA for OA using a large database of Japanese patients.

Background: Malnutrition is significantly associated with unfavorable outcomes, but the relevant prognostic assessment is not emphasized in patients who have osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH). This study aimed to assess the association between preoperative nutritional status evaluated by the prognostic nutritional index (PNI) and walking independence at one year postoperatively in patients who have ONFH undergoing primary total hip arthroplasty (THA).
Methods: This was a retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data from patients admitted to a tertiary referral hospital who had ONFH and underwent primary unilateral THA from October 30, 2014 to April 26, 2019.

Objective: The focus of this study was to assess the diagnostic effectiveness of Tc-MDP single-photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography (SPECT/CT) in pinpointing medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ).
Methods: We gathered a total of 39 patients who were suspected of having MRONJ and displayed radionuclide concentration in the jaws on whole-body bone scans. These patients were subjected to simultaneous SPECT/CT fusion imaging of the jaws during delayed imaging.
