Bone scintigraphy of hip joint effusions in children

Intracapsular pressure in hip synovitis in children

“…Therefore, the blood supply to the PFE is extremely vulnerable to an increased intracapsular pressure (Woodhouse 1964, LucEt et al 1983. Several scintigraphic studies have demonstrated transient ischemia of the PFE in transient synovitis and in septic arthritis (Kloiber et al 1983, Minikel et al 1983, Wingstrand et al 1985a, 1987. Case 8 in this study is the fifth case of reversible transient ischemia following aspiration quoted in the literature.…”

Computed tomography and ultrasonography for diagnosis of hip joint effusion in children

“…Experimentally and clinically increased intracapsular pressures have been shown to produce ischemia of the proximal femoral ephiphysis (Woodhouse 1964, Lucht et al 1983, Kloiber et al 1983, Wingstrand et al 1985b.…”

“…The diagnosis of hip joint effusion in children is clinically important because increased intracapsular pressure may obstruct the blood supply to the proximal femoral epiphysis (Kloiber et al 1983, Wingstrand et al 1985a) The condition is difficult to diagnose by conventional radiography (Brown 1975). We have evaluated computed tomography (CT) and ultrasonography (US) in the diagnosis of hip joint effusion in children.…”

Intracapsular pressure and loosening of hip prostheses Preoperative measurements in 18 hips

“…Effusion causing distension of the capsule andlor increased intracapsular pressure has been observed in several hip disorders, such as arthrosis (Timofeeva 1975, Goddard and Gosling 1988, Robertsson et al 1995, transient synovitis (Kloiber et al 1983, Wingstrand et al 1985a, septic arthritis (Wingstrand et al 1987) and juvenile chronic arthritis (Rydholm et al 1986). …”
