| Résumé : | Irradiation of a bone at a sufficient dose provokes in the cells a temporary inhibition of the proliferation of the chondroblasts, and in the bone tissue a certain delayed devitalisation. The first effect explains the delays and disorders of growth which sometimes follow radiological treatments of young subjects. The second effect may be the cause of pathological fractures. Present-day techniques (notably recourse to high energy radiations), and few clinical precautions (for instance, dental hygiene when the maxillae are being irradiated) make this complication quite exceptional. |
