With the advent of less-invasive fetal surgery techniques, nonlethal disorders are considered amenable to intrauterine treatment. Extremity amniotic band syndrome fulfils the criteria of intrauterine disorders conformable with fetal treatment: capability of prenatal diagnosis and severity. We report 2 cases of extremity amniotic bands with risk of limb amputation released fetoscopically with YAG laser.

    Histologic findings at 6 and 12 weeks showed progression to advanced stage osteonecrosis. MRI, the gold standard in diagnosis and follow-up in human osteonecrosis showed concordant results with histology. CONCLUSION: Our model can therefore be used as a preclinical femoral head osteonecrosis model i...
