Previous necrosis of the femur, reflex contraction and anchylosis of the knee existed. |
The destruction of articular cartilage, subchondral bone sclerosis, marginal osteophyte formation with large periosteal bony proliferation and subsequent anchylosis resulted in pain and joint dysfunction. |
The wounds healed per primam, but when I saw the man two months later anchylosis in the straight position was apparently complete. |
Of a series of excisions for disease, injury, and anchylosis, 22.15 per cent. |
This prevents to some extent further infection of the wound, and assists also in promoting the changes that tend to anchylosis. |
The end result is one of anchylosis of the joint and permanent lameness. |
