Ron,

I think

you’ve missed your calling, you should be a teacher, you could teach the

class I am teaching right now, as one of my (oh what the h--- do you call it

when you just talk) I can’t seem to remember anything, good thing I have

a book and power point to do my “talks”, whatever there calledJ

Anyway Ron

you could do this, probably better then meJ

Sometimes

I go by, mb you know what that means, “missing brains” lol J

" Without blood, tissue death " literally.

When looking at prefixes, suffixes and roots of words we can see the

the following...

A means without.

Vascular means blood.

Necrosis means tissue death.

So, avascular necrosis means without a blood supply the tissue will die.

For some unknown reason, long term use of prednisone will interrupt the

blood supply to certain tissues, like bone tissue and when this happens

the surrounding tissue dies because it is not receiving the nourishment

from the blood supply to sustain life.

I have this in my humeral heads on both sides. " BUT I AIN'T CLAIMING

NOTHIN YA HERE? "

X-ray revealed the smooth articulating surface of the humerus that is

responsible for smooth movement was being damaged. Why, because the

blood supply to that bone was diminished so much that it began to die.

Blood provide the nutrients to tissues in order for them to live.

Without a adequate flow of blood all tissues will eventually die. Just

like in the case of brain death. If oxygen and glucose are depleted in

the brain's circulatory system, then the brain dies and becomes

unresponsive, hint the term brain death.

I hope this explains it cleary for you.

Yes it does explain it clearly, but since the bone dies, does it erode

away? The reason why I am asking was that about 4 years ago I had some

knee surgery done and there is an erosion of the bone (femur). The

ortho was wondering why at the age of 40 I was having erosion of the

bone. I am going to have to go in this week because the knee is

gigantic and wanted clarification of the term. So does it cause

erosion?

Thanks.

For the sports fans, Bo , a double-sport athlete (football & baseball) developed avascular necrosis, I assume from just repeated contact injuries & overuse of the joint. Anyway, he had a joint replacement & returned to play baseball, I think as just a pinch hitter & not for long. This was maybe 10 or so years ago? Just a little story of interest.

And today they might say Bo was doing Steroids to cause his Avascular Necrosis....Do you suppose?

Would that make him a Boo bo?

If the surface of the bone head (cartialge) is not smooth, thick

enough and without any defects you are going to have pain and poor

articulation.

The ball and socket joint of the hip and rotator of the soulder

requires a smooth fit. The femoral head and acetabulum creates a

vaccum due to the fit being so snug like a lock and key fit almost

but better. Anything less is unacceptable and very painful.

When I was working in tissue donation many years ago and the bone

team would remove hemi pelvis, femoral heads etceteras you could

literally see the difference in the bone in men and women as they

aged. The women in their 50 and 60 you could hold their hemi pelvis

up to the OR light and practically look through it due to

osetoporosis. And their articualting surfaces had degenerated so

badly that the cartilage that covers the femur head was eroded away

and had bumps and ridges on it. This is not the way it supposed to

be. This must have been a very painful time for these patients.

When I was working in tissue donation many years ago and the bone

team would remove hemi pelvis, femoral heads etceteras you could

literally see the difference in the bone in men and women as they

aged. The women in their 50 and 60 you could hold their hemi pelvis

up to the OR light and practically look through it due to

osetoporosis. And their articualting surfaces had degenerated so

badly that the cartilage that covers the femur head was eroded away

and had bumps and ridges on it. This is not the way it supposed to

be. This must have been a very painful time for these patients.

> For the sports fans, Bo , a double-sport athlete

(football & baseball) developed avascular necrosis, I assume from

just repeated contact injuries & overuse of the joint. Anyway, he

had a joint replacement & returned to play baseball, I think as just

a pinch hitter & not for long. This was maybe 10 or so years ago?

Just a little story of interest.

Ron,

I have an erosion in my left knee to the point that the tendon slips into it and rubs. Owww. I had knee surgery almost 3 years ago when they found it. My ortho had always thought this was not very good for a woman my age. I was 41 at the time.
