Title: [Rapid osteolysis of the hip and chondrocalcinosis]. Author: Hunkeler M, Gerster JC. Journal: Praxis (Bern 1994); 1996 Apr 16; 85(16):513-6. PubMed ID: 8657994. Abstract: Two old patients with a rapid destructive arthropathy of the hip with osteolysis of the femoral head are presented. X-Rays show chondrocalcinosis. The other common causes of destructive arthropathy have been dismissed. Although the exact mechanism of osteolysis remains unclear, chondrocalcinosis might be involved in the destructive process.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
