Title: A comparison of the amount of vascularity in pagetic and normal human bone. Author: Rongstad KM, Wheeler DL, Enneking WF. Journal: Clin Orthop Relat Res; 1994 Sep; (306):247-9. PubMed ID: 8070203. Abstract: The lower extremity of a patient with Paget's disease of the proximal femur was infused with contrast medium after hemipelvectomy. Cross sectional specimens were computer analyzed to compare quantitatively the microvascularity of the proximal femoral pagetic bone to the distal femoral normal bone. The pagetic bone contained nearly six times more contrast per cross sectional area (28%) than the normal bone (5%).[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
