Intraosseous Hypertension and Pain in the Knee

Validity of Intervertebral Bone Cement Infusion for Painful Vertebral Compression Fractures Based on the Presence of Vertebral Mobility

“…Bone marrow decompression was previously performed for pain due to long bone fractures and so on, based on the theory that the onset of fracture pain is closely associated with bone marrow edema. [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] Past reports suggest that bone marrow decompression may reduce intramedullary pressure in vertebral bodies and cause changes in blood circulation. [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] Some clinicians regard these procedures as treatment.…”

Hemodynamics of the juvenile knee

“…In adult volunteers Arnoldi et al (1975) by simultaneous measurements found a PFE of 1.1k0.2 (S.E.) kPa and a PTE of 1.350.3 kPa (N=16).…”

Arteriovenous shunting is not associated with venous congestion in bone: Knee tamponade studied with 15-μm and 50-μm microspheres in immature dogs

“…Increased intraosseous pressure (IOP) is a painful adjunct of inflammatory and degenerative diseases of joints (Arnoldi et al 1975, Arnoldi and Reimann 1979, Arnoldi et al 1980. The mechanism involves impairment of the venous drainage from bone due to intraosseous vascular pathology (He et al 1990) or extraosseous venous compression secondary to interstitial edema or joint effusion (Biinger 1987).…”
