NECROSIS (Gr. vEKpos, corpse)

This article appears in Volume V19, Page 338 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: NAN-NEW
NECROSIS (Gr. vEKpos, corpse) , a
term
  restricted in surgery to death of bone. A severe inflammation, caused by a violent
blow
 , by cold, or by the absorption of various poisons, as
mercury
  and
phosphorus
 , is the general precursor of necrosis. The dead
part
 , analogous to the slough in the soft tissues, is called a sequestrum or exfoliation. At first it is firmly attached to the living bone around; gradually, however, the dead portion is separated from the living
tissue
 . The process of separation is a slow one. New bone is formed around the sequestrum, which often renders its removal difficult. As a
rule
  the surgeon
waits
  until the dead
part
  is loose, and then cuts down through the new
case
  and removes the sequestrum. The cavity in which it lay gradually closes, and a useful limb is the result.
