[Early diagnosis of aseptic necrosis of the femur head in adults].
Having analysed the case histories of 121 patients with unilateral aseptic necrosis of the femoral head the authors revealed early roentgenologic symptoms of aseptic necrosis in the other hip which was normal on admission in 19 patients with absence of the clinical signs of the disease. In other 13 patients at different terms after the exposure of the roentgenologic changes (up to 9 years) a clinical picture of aseptic necrosis of this previously normal joint developed. A picture that is characteristic both of the preclinical stage and of other stages of aseptic necrosis of the femoral head may be revealed in the roentgenograms during the initial examination of the patient, which is connected with some peculiarities of the course of the disease.
