Abstract AR

نستعرض في هذا المقال حالة نخر عظمى نادرة، حيث سجلنا حالة غير ناتجة عن إصابة سابقة لعنق عظمة الفخذ لرجل يافع السن، و نقترح أن تعرضه لصعقة تيار كهربائي بطرفه السفلي قد أدت إلى تخثرات بالأوعية الدموية و ترتب على ذلك حدوث نخر عظمي برأس عظمة الفخذ.

حالة واحدة فقط تم استعراضها سابقا من هذا النوع من النخر العظمي المترتب على الإصابة بصعقة تيار كهربائي.
