title: [Interpretation of MR tomography findings in trauma surgery].
abstract: MR-Imaging is well established as the most sensitive method for the diagnosis of avascular necrosis of the femoral head. In this paper preliminary results are analyzed in an attempt to clarify whether as in a vascular necrosis of the femoral head. MR changes after trauma or surgery allow conclusions concerning the vitality of the bone. Comparison of clinical, MR and histological findings revealed that we cannot yet differentiate between fibrosis of the bone marrow with sustained vitality of the osteocytes and bone necrosis. Therefore, conclusions with implications for therapy should be drawn with extreme care.
