thread_title:  Ficat Scale 

message: This article is almost a literal copy-paste from: http://healthlink.mcw.edu/article/926046182.html . We have to work on this. This is definitely valuable information, but it is simply a copy-paste from a copyrighted paste, and that is unacceptable. The article must be rewritten. I will try to spend attention on this in the coming days / weeks. The article is on my watchlist. --Piz d'Es-Cha (talk) 19:07, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

message: how can bisphosphonates be cited as a possible cause as well as a treatment for AVN???76.71.96.67 (talk) 19:33, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  bisphosphonates, good or bad? 

message: There is a general lack of exposure of "cutting-edge"; i.e. newer and high-outcome surgeries in this article.  
China, Korea and India have both approved a procedure known as Autologous Osteoblast Implantation (ABI; a.k.a. OSSRON).  This procedure has proved to be effective in it's limited application.  
Additionally, the citation that Core Decompression (CD) + Stem Cells has not been proven to be effective is false.  Maybe by the way of insurance companies (how do they process credibility?), but there are more than 10 studies verifying a statistically significant and greater outcome in CD + SC patients versus CD alone. 
I feel this is information is relevant, especially to the AVN grade 1 and 2 patients.  Also Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) has been shown in 3 studies (one with 100+ patients), to actually cure AVN.  That is the femoral head regains complete circulation and there is no remnant dead bone.  This is not the case with all other surgeries (those in which a lack of necrotic bone progression is defined as success, versus a return to an actually non-necrotic femur head).  
This information is vital to AVN Grade 1 and 2 sufferers.  Why insurance does not approve these methods (for the most part, on occasion they approve CD + SC) is beyond me, but it is not evidence-based and is likely profit-based (in some sick way).  
Good luck everyone!!!!  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.171.0.142 (talk) 02:26, 10 February 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Progressive/ High-outcome Surgeries 

message: Anyone who has AVN that is termed idiopathic, ie there appears no particular cause for it, should have coagulation studies done; AVN can be caused by blood clots within the bone matrix.   The coagulopathy can be either a too-rapid process or it can be caused by such diseases as von WIllebrand's in which the clotting time is up and down (not every type of vWD has this see-saw effect.)   (Bleeding times of 8 minutes+ raise the possibility of vWD and related)
WIll try to dig up a link. 
BTW - all of you who post here should know that the talk pages are not a forum for grievances or medical advice, but have to do with the actual article on the next page.74.15.42.191 (talk) 00:04, 27 January 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Coagulopathies 

message: I noticed that this article is listed under the jurisdiction of Underwater Diving. It also uses Template:Underwater diving. However, I cannot find any content in the article that relates to diving (all diving content was removed by  on 4th April 2013). Is this categorisation appropriate? I notice that  added this categorisation on 15th April 2021. Bibeyjj (talk) 17:00, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: , This is a long term consequence of some forms of decompression sickness, usually referred to in the diving medicine literature as dysbaric osteonecrosis or aseptic bone necrosis, which is a redirect to this article, and according to the article is an alternative terminology.

text: There is no claim of jurisdiction over the article, but it is within the sphere of interest of diving medicine, hence the template and project tag. WikiPoject Underwater diving is fairly inclusive in its scope. The current navbox is a replacement for the older , which was added in 2012. I was updating the project article ratings recently and noticed this one was not tagged. · · · Peter Southwood (talk): 18:24, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
