[Intra-osseous angiography of human tubular bone (author's transl)].
After a comprehensive review of the literature dealing with the topography, morphology and histology of the vascular systems in long tubular bones, a method of "intra-osseous angiography" of these bones is described. Serial angiograms of isolated human tubular bones show a branching system running in the long axis of the bone; this corresponds with the vascular pattern seen on retrograde angiograms of the nutrient vein. Histologically these can be identified as venous structures as far as its microcirculatory components. Application of the method to medicine may become a valuable aid in early and differential diagnosis.
