  • Title: [Radiation injuries of the bones during treatment of uterine cancer].
    Author: Gun'ko RI, Krasnov AS.
    Journal: Vopr Onkol; 1988; 34(10):1188-95. PubMed ID: 3188420.
    Abstract:
    The data on 53 cases of bone injuries caused by radiation treatment for cancer of the uterus were analysed. The clinico-roentgenological signs of osteoradionecrosis (33), pathological fracture and dislocation (13), osteomyelitis (5) and radiation-induced sarcoma of bone (2) were considered. Lesions were found to occur most frequently in the upper flaring portion of the ilium and bones of the hip joints. Regular X-ray examinations of the pelvic bones are necessary for early detection of radiation injuries as well as conservative treatment to prevent such grave complications as pathologic fracture and osteomyelitis.
