  • Title: Intraosseous hypertension in osteoarthritis of the hip and ischemic necrosis of the femoral head.
    Author: Ho WP, Shih CH, Lee ZL.
    Journal: Orthop Rev; 1988 Feb; 17(2):202-5. PubMed ID: 3174202.
    Abstract:
    Intraosseous hypertension is noted both in osteoarthritis of the hip and ischemic necrosis of the femoral head. The mean intraosseous pressure in osteoarthritis cases was 30.0 +/- 4.2 mmHg. The incidence of abnormal intraosseous pressure and positive stress tests was 39% and 26.7%, respectively. In patients with ischemic necrosis of the femoral head, intraosseous pressure was 45.6 +/- 19.4 mmHg, 79% of patients had abnormal intraosseous pressure, and 56.1% had positive stress tests. Intraosseous pressure studies indicated a statistically significant difference between patients with osteoarthritis and those with ischemic necrosis of the femoral head.
