stage osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH), the factors normally considered are the progression of the disease and the patient’s age. Although most clinicians agree that the focus, when first treating patients under 50 years of age, should be on preserving the joint, there is significant controversy as to the appropriate procedure in any given case. Core decompression is one of the joint sa...

Background Symptomatic osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) and avascular (AVN) are two types which is a serious complication systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Even their pathophysiology them similar, though onset timing, symptoms signs, other clinical characteristics different. Objectives To compare SLE combined with symptomatic ONFH AVN. Methods We retrospectively analyzed data 86 cases...

Background According to the results of Russian studies, coxitis occurs in 56% patients (pts) with AS. At same time, need for total hip arthroplasty (THA) is only 8%, which associated use biologic disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (bDMARDs). Objectives The aim study was compare macroscopic changes bone tissue femoral heads (FH) and acetabulums pts AS who received did not receive bDMARDs. Me...

Twenty-two patients with unreduced hip dislocation or fracture dislocation were prospectively evaluated. Intraosseous aspiration, marrow fluid analysis and core biopsy histological analysis was performed from the supero-lateral (test group) and central part (control group) of the femoral head. After appropriate surgical treatment and postoperative management, they were followed up for 2 years b...

Introduction: Aseptic Osteonecrosis of the Femoral Head (AOFH) is a degenerative complication sickle cell disease. In absence care, it source disability through painful lameness and functional impotence that causes over time. Its data in african children are scarce. This work aimed at determining its prevalence describing characteristics. Methodology: It was about descriptive study conducted a4...

Long-term data and information indicating whether minimally invasive surgery (MIS) approaches are safe and effective with total hip arthroplasty (THA) are lacking. Between 2004 and 2006, 75 patients with alcohol-related osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) who underwent 75 THAs with the two-incision approach were studied. The medical records, radiographic parameters, and functional outcomes...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the preventive effect of ethyl 3,4-dihydroxybenzoate(EDHB) on steroid-associated femoral head osteonecrosis(ONFH) in a rabbit model. New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into two groups (prevention group and model group), each containing 24 rabbits. Osteonecrosis was induced by lipopolysaccharide(LPS) combined with methylprednisolone(MPS)....

This study aimed to investigate if autologous bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) could treat osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) and what the fate and distribution of the cells are in dogs. Twelve Beagle dogs were randomly divided into two groups: MSCs group and SHAM operated group. After three weeks, dogs in MSCs group and SHAM operated group were intra-arterially injected with aut...

This is a retrospective analysis of the clinical effects of transplant of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) derived from human umbilical cord-derived MSCs (hUC‑MSCs) for the treatment of osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH). The biological characteristics of hUC-MSCs were assessed using flow cytometry. Nine eligible patients were enrolled in the study as they adhered to the Association Research...
