Five-month radiographs of femoral head fracture show arc-shaped calcified foci within the generally normal phenomenon, which is a manifestation of bone self-protection and self-repair, and may also be caused by diseases, such as osteocalcinosis.
1. Physiological osteophytes: Fracture has the function of self-repair, after the fracture of the surrounding blood circulation is poor, although the fracture can gradually heal, but it will affect the blood supply, which will lead to pathological changes in the bone, resulting in the fracture and the cartilage around the degeneration, aging, that is, bone spurs, which is a response to the self-protection of the bone.
2. Bone calcification
(1) Systemic metabolic diseases: the presence of some systemic metabolic diseases can cause phosphorus metabolism disorder, such as hyperthyroidism, which will lead to calcium deposition, and a large amount of calcium deposition will cause metastatic calcification.
(2) Skeletal diseases: cartilage tumors can lead to intracartilage calcification, bone infarction, or even bone necrosis, and the X-ray shows granular, small ring, or semi-ring-like dense shadow.
If the femoral head fracture is five months old, the radiographs show arc-shaped calcification foci in the femoral head, you should communicate with your doctor in time, combine with other examinations and clinical symptoms, and make a comprehensive diagnosis and standardize the treatment.
