Abstract
A Case of Avascular Necrosis of a Lumbar Vertebral Body after Sport Injury
Avascular necrosis of vertebral body is not common. There are some radiologic findings that imply avascular necrosis however they are not characteristic. It is due to obliteration of blood supply of bone after trauma and non traumatic events.
