Abstract
BACKGROUND Core decompression is a minimally invasive joint-preserving approach for early-stage osteonecrosis. The rate at which core decompression patients require total hip arthroplasty (THA) and rates of perioperative adverse outcomes have not been well-characterized. METHODS Adult patients undergoing core decompression and/or THA with osteonecrosis of the femoral head were identified from the 2015 to 2021 Q3 PearlDiver M157 database. Those undergoing THA without or with antecedent core decompression were identified and matched 4:1 on age, sex, and Elixhauser Comorbidity Index. Postoperative 90-day adverse events were compared with multivariable analysis. Five-year rates of revision, dislocation, and periprosthetic fracture were compared by the Kaplan-Meier curve and log-rank tests. RESULTS Core decompressions were identified for 3,025 patients of whom 387 (12.8%) went on to THA within 5 years (64% within the first year). The median time from initial core decompression to THA was 252 days. For THA, 26,209 adults were identified and 387 had prior core decompression. After matching, there were 1,320 without core decompression and 339 with core decompression. No statistically significant differences were observed in 90-day postoperative adverse events or 5-year rates of revision, dislocation, or periprosthetic fracture. CONCLUSION Core decompression may be an option for patients with osteonecrosis and does not seem to affect THA outcomes if required later.

Lee S, Zheng H, Park SM, Kim HJ, Yeom JS. A Randomized Controlled Trial of Vertebral Body Decompression Procedure Versus Conservative Treatment for Painful Vertebral Compression Fracture. MEDICINA (KAUNAS, LITHUANIA) 2023; 59:1848. [PMID: 37893566 PMCID: PMC10608657 DOI: 10.3390/medicina59101848] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/04/2023] [Revised: 09/12/2023] [Accepted: 10/10/2023] [Indexed: 10/29/2023]
Abstract
Background: Traditional treatment modalities for vertebral compression fractures (VCFs) include bed rest, pain medications, muscle relaxants, back braces, and physical therapy. In cases where conservative treatment proves ineffective, a new procedure called core decompression of the vertebral body is explored. Core decompression of the vertebral body has the potential to lower and stabilize the intraosseous pressure, resulting in enhanced blood circulation, which contributes to pain reduction. In this trial, we evaluated the efficacy of core decompression of the vertebral body in patients with painful VCFs compared with conventional conservative treatment. Methods: This prospective randomized controlled trial was conducted at a tertiary education hospital between June 2017 and May 2020. The participants were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to one of two treatment groups: the core decompression group and the conservative treatment group. The primary outcome measure was the visual analog scale (VAS) pain score of the back 3 months after the procedure. Secondary outcome measures included the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) for lumbar disabilities, the European Quality of Life-5 Dimensions (EQ-5D) score for quality of life, and radiographic outcomes such as changes in compression rate. Results: All patients underwent the assigned intervention (48 core decompression and 50 conservative treatments). At both 1 month and 3 months, there were no significant differences between the core decompression group and conservative treatment group in VAS pain score (adjusted treatment effect: -0.1 and 2.0; 95% confidence interval [CI]: -7.5 to 7.3 and -5.6 to 9.6; p = 0.970 and p = 0.601, respectively). In addition, there were no significant inter-group differences in ODI and EQ-5D scores throughout the follow-up period (p = 0.917 and 0.704, respectively). Conclusion: Core decompression of the vertebral body did not demonstrate any significant improvement in pain and disability compared to conventional conservative treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Several hip preserving techniques have been described for the management of osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH). This systematic review identified prognostic factors in the treatment of ONFH that are associated with treatment failure and conversion to total hip arthroplasty (THA). MATERIAL AND METHODS This study followed the PRISMA guidelines. The literature search was conducted in November 2021. All clinical trials comparing two or more treatments for femoral head osteonecrosis were accessed. A multivariate analysis was performed to investigate the association between baseline characteristics and the surgical outcome. A multiple linear model regression analysis through the Pearson Product-Moment Correlation Coefficient (r) was used. RESULTS Data from 88 articles (6112 procedures) were retrieved. Female gender was associated with increased time to THA (P = 0.03) and reduced rate of THA (P = 0.03). Longer symptom duration before treatment was associated with shorter time to failure (P = 0.03). Increased pre-treatment VAS was associated with reduced time to failure (P = 0.03) and time to THA (P = 0.04). Reduced pre-treatment hip function was associated with increased rate of THA (P = 0.02) and failure (P = 0.005). Patient age and BMI, aetiology, time from surgery to full weight bearing and the side did not show evidence of a statistically significant association with the surgical outcome. CONCLUSION Male gender, longer symptom duration before treatment, higher VAS scores, and lower HHS scores were negative prognostic factors after treatment for osteonecrosis of the femoral head.

One in five patients require conversion to arthroplasty after non-vascularized bone grafts in patients with osteonecrosis of the femoral head: a systematic review. J Orthop Surg Res 2023; 18:77.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Non-vascularized bone grafting (NVBG) has demonstrated to treat osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH). There are a number of articles updating the use of NVBG to treat the ONFH, but the percentage of patients subsequently undergoing a total hip arthroplasty (THA) is controversial. METHODS Several electronic databases, including PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane databases, were searched to find studies using NVBG to treat ONFH. The pooled rate and 95% confidence interval (CI) were used to assess the conversion rate to THA after NVBG. In addition, we performed subgroup, sensitivity, and publication bias analysis. RESULTS A total of 37 studies describing 2599 hips were included. The mean weighted follow-up time was 50.5 months and the mean age at surgery was 36.3 years. The conversion rate to THA after NVBG was 21% (95%CI: 17% to 25%), and subgroup analyzes indicated lightbulb, trapdoor and Phemister techniques incidences with THA of 15%, 19%, and 24%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS This study preliminarily obtained the general trend of the survival rate of NVBG patients, but these results should be interpreted cautiously. Pooled results from 2599 hips and of these nearly 80% with early stage of osteonecrosis, showed that approximately 21% of patients underwent a THA following NVBG. NVBG treatment for patient with ONFH appears to defer or at least delay the need for THA.

Abstract
Objective This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of CD combined with bone marrow stem cells in the treatment of femoral head necrosis by systematic review and meta-analysis. Methodology. PubMed, The Cochrane Library, Embase, CNKI, Google Scholar and MEDLINE, etc. databases were searched for clinical randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing core decompression combined with autologous bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells versus core decompression alone in the treatment of femoral head necrosis. The retrieval period is from the establishment of each database to May 20, 2021. After literature was extracted and literature quality was evaluated, meta-analysis was conducted by using RevMan5.3 software. Results A total of 420 osteonecrosis of the femoral head 452 patients' data were collected from all studies. Compared with the core decompression alone group, the CD combined with bone marrow stem cell showed marked reduction in the Visual analog scale (VAS), enhanced Harris hip score (HHS) at 12 months and 24 months, slowed down the progression of the disease, decreased the number of hips conversed to total hip arthroplasty (THA) in the future. Conclusion Core decompression therapy is a very effective and safe treatment process used for ONFH. Moreover, CD combined autologous bone marrow stem cell transplantation can improve the survival rate of the necrotic head, reduce hip pain and delay the disease progression, the rate of THA postoperatively.

Abstract
Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) affects mainly young patients and causes secondary hip osteoarthritis if remains untreated. Several operative treatments have been introduced with successful outcomes in the early stages. However, in late stages of ONFH treatment may be challenging due to the progressive nature of disease and many surgeons prefer arthroplasty option after collapse. Considering the size, age and etiology an effort should be made to preserve hip joint selected patients with early collapse or minimal arthritic changes. The purpose of the current review is to discuss the results of joint preserving procedures for late stages of ONFH.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To observe the effectiveness of digital subtraction angiography (DSA) assisted musculoskeletal flap transplantation in the treatment of osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH). METHODS The clinical data of 15 patients with 15 hips of ONFH admitted between January 2016 and December 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. All patients were male, aged 20-45 years, with an average age of 31.6 years. There were hormone type in 9 cases and alcohol type in 6 cases. The disease duration ranged from 15 days to 3 years, with an average of 8 months. The Association Research Circulation Osseous (ARCO) staging: 4 hips in stage Ⅱ, 11 hips in stage Ⅲ. The preoperative visual analogue scale (VAS) score was 6.2±0.2, and the Harris score of the hip joint was 57.3±1.3. Preoperative DSA examination of the femoral head was performed to determine the location of vascular lesions of the femoral head. According to the results of the angiography, the surgical selection of the musculoskeletal flap was guided. For the patients with both superior and inferior retinaculum vessels developed, simple core decompression was performed. For the patients with superior retinaculum vessels developed but inferior retinaculum vessels not developed, anterolateral tensor fasciae flap was used. For the patients whose superior retinaculum did not develop and the inferior retinaculum developed, posterolateral quadratus femoris flap was used. The fibular flap with anastomotic vessels was used in the patients whose superior and inferior retinaculum vessels were not developed. RESULTS All 15 cases of 15 hips were followed up 6-24 months, with an average of 14 months. During the follow-up, the patient's ONFH did not worsen, the femoral head did not collapse, the joint space was normal, and the hip joint fextion and extension function was acceptable. At last follow-up, the VAS score was 1.9±0.2, and the hip Harris score was 92.1±0.8, both of which were significantly improved when compared with preoperative ones ( t=14.85, P=0.00; t=23.22, P=0.00). CONCLUSION For patients with ONFH who need musculoskeletal flap transplantation, preoperative DSA of femoral head can determine the location of vascular lesions of femoral head, so as to guide the selection of musculoskeletal flap transplantation, which is of great significance for hip-conserving surgery.

Multiple drilling is not effective in reducing the rate of conversion to Total hip Arthroplasty in early-stage nontraumatic osteonecrosis of the femoral head: a case-control comparative study with a natural course. BMC Musculoskelet Disord 2021; 22:535.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To determine whether multiple drilling is effective in postponing the need for total hip arthroplasty (THA) in early-stage nontraumatic osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH). METHODS We identified 514 patients who were diagnosed with early-stage ONFH between January 2008 and December 2018. One hundred ninety-six patients underwent multiple drilling, and 318 patients had a natural course of progression. One hundred fifty-nine patients were selected for each group after case-control matching for preoperative demographics and modified Ficat and Arlet stage. The rates of THA conversion were compared. We also performed Cox regression to identify risk factors associated with THA conversion in patients who underwent multiple drilling. RESULTS Kaplan-Meier survivorship with an endpoint of THA for nontraumatic reasons were not significantly different between the multiple drilling group (75.6, 95% confidence interval 67.8-83.4%) and the natural course group (72.2, 95% confidence interval 64.8-79.6%) at 5 years (log-rank, P = .191). In the Cox regression model, a larger extent of necrotic lesion, bone marrow edema (BME), and higher postoperative work intensity significantly increased the risk of THA conversion (P < .05). Among patients treated with autogenous bone grafting, there was a lower risk of failure in patients with necrotic lesion less than 15% (P < .05). CONCLUSIONS Multiple drilling is not effective in reducing the rate of THA conversion in early-stage nontraumatic ONFH. The risk of conversion to THA after multiple drilling is increased by a larger extent of necrotic lesion, presence of BME, and higher postoperative work intensity in patients with early-stage ONFH. TRIAL REGISTRATION The trial was registered in the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry ( ChiCTR2000035180 ) dated 2 August 2020.

Abstract
Background Half of osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) patients suffer femoral head collapse at initial diagnosis, and more than half are bilaterally affected. This study developed a percutaneous autologous impaction bone graft (IBG) technique as a modification of core decompression (CD). We also summarized the short-term results and treatment efficacy of percutaneous autologous IBG in advanced ONFH. Methods Twenty patients (12 males, 8 females) with nontraumatic, postcollapse ONFH except one case underwent CD (10-mm core diameter) and reverse IBG. Radiological changes of the ONFH stage and type were analyzed. Survival analysis using Kaplan–Meier estimates was performed with conversion to total hip arthroplasty (THA) as the endpoint. In addition, the Harris hip score (HHS) and University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) activity rating scale were evaluated. Results Percutaneous autologous IBG was performed successfully, with an average operation time of < 1 h and small blood loss, and 7 patients (35%) needed conversion to THA at an average of 17 months postoperatively. We observed radiological progressive change in 60% of the patients during a mean observation period of 3 years. The mean clinical scores, except data recorded, after THA significantly improved (before vs. after 3 years: UCLA activity score, 3.7 vs. 5.2 [P = 0.014]; HHS, 57.6 vs. 76.5 points [P = 0.005]). In addition, 6 patients showed radiological progression but no clinical deterioration. Conclusions Percutaneous autologous IBG was technically simple and minimally invasive, but short-term results were unsatisfactory for advanced ONFH. Indications for this procedure should be carefully examined to improve it in order to enable bone formation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the safety and superiority of robot-assisted femoral head drilling decompression in the treatment of femoral head necrosis. METHODS A total of 63 patients who underwent borehole decompression of the femoral head in our hospital from January 2016 to March 2019 were recruited. Patients were divided into two groups for comparison according to surgical methods. In the robot-assisted surgery group, there were 30 cases with 41 femoral heads. The conventional group had 33 cases and 46 femoral heads. All patients signed the consent form before the operation. The follow-up time was 6 months. The incision lengths, operation times, intraoperative blood loss, intraoperative fluoroscopies, guide needle punctures, postoperative Harris scores, and postoperative complications of the two groups were compared. RESULTS The incision length of the robot surgery group was 5.16 ± 0.41 cm, while that of the traditional surgery group was 7.42 ± 0.50 cm. The operation time of the robot surgery group was 46.99 ± 4.94 min, while that of the traditional surgery group was 55.01 ± 6.19 min. The fluoroscopy frequency of the robot surgery group was 10.50 ± 1.78 times, while that of the traditional surgery group was 17.91 ± 2.20 times. The intraoperative blood loss in the robotic surgery group was 20.62 ± 2.52 mL, while that in the conventional surgery group was 52.72 ± 3.39 mL. In the robot operation group, each femoral head guide needle was punctured three times, and the puncture was successful one time. The number of guided needle punctures in the traditional group was 8.02 ± 1.73. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P < 0.05). The Harris score was 69.53 ± 7.51 in the robot surgery group and 68.38 ± 7.26 in the traditional surgery group one month after surgery, 78.52 ± 6.49 in the robot surgery group and 76.41 ± 7.95 in the traditional surgery group three months after surgery, and 83.32 ± 8.62 in the robot surgery group and 81.74 ± 6.20 in the traditional surgery group six months after surgery. There was no significant difference between the two groups (P > 0.05). In the traditional group, there was one case of incision infection and one case of femoral head collapse during follow-up. In the robot group, there were no complications, such as incision infection and deep vein thrombosis. No collapse of the femoral head was found in the robot group during follow-up. CONCLUSION The positioning system of the orthopaedic robot is an ideal method for the treatment of femoral head necrosis. This method has the advantages of simple operation, accurate drilling, a short operation time, less surgical trauma, less radioactivity, and good recovery of hip joint function.

Femoral Head and Neck Fenestration Through a Direct Anterior Approach Combined With Compacted Autograft for the Treatment of Early Stage Nontraumatic Osteonecrosis of the Femoral Head: A Retrospective Study. J Arthroplasty 2020; 35:652-660. [PMID: 31761674 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2019.10.043] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/25/2019] [Revised: 10/14/2019] [Accepted: 10/23/2019] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to evaluate the effect of femoral head and neck fenestration combined with compacted autograft (light bulb procedure) through a direct anterior approach for early stage nontraumatic osteonecrosis of the femoral head. METHODS We conducted a retrospective cohort study investigating 66 hips undergoing the light bulb procedure through the direct anterior approach (light bulb group) and 59 hips undergoing traditional core decompression (control group). Visual analog scale pain scores and range of hip motion were evaluated before discharge to assess the quality of functional recovery. Follow-up was conducted at 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, and annually after surgery until 4 years. The clinical effectiveness was evaluated by Harris hip score and the University of California Los Angeles activity-level score. Patients were followed up with postoperative X-ray and computed tomography. Survival was compared between the 2 groups by radiographic progression and receiving total hip arthroplasty. RESULTS There was no significant difference in quality of functional recovery between the 2 groups. There were no significant differences in clinical outcomes within 1 year after surgery. Patients in the light bulb group had significantly better Harris hip scores and University of California Los Angeles activity-level scores from 2 years after surgery to the end of follow-up. During the 4-year follow-up, significantly fewer patients in light bulb group had radiographic progression (22.7% vs 44.1%) or received total hip arthroplasty (15.2% vs 30.5%). CONCLUSIONS The light bulb procedure through a direct anterior approach offers significantly better results for the treatment of early stage nontraumatic osteonecrosis of the femoral head compared with traditional core decompression.

Abstract
Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is a common and refractory disease in orthopaedic clinics. The number of patients with ONFH is increasing worldwide every year. There are an estimated 8.12 million patients with nontraumatic osteonecrosis in China alone. Treatment of nontraumatic osteonecrosis has always been a clinical challenge for orthopaedic surgeons. To further standardize diagnosis and treatment of ONFH, these guidelines provide not only basic diagnosis, treatment, and evaluation systems for ONFH but also expert advice and standards in many aspects, including epidemiology, aetiology, diagnostic criteria, pathological staging, prevention and treatment options, and postoperative rehabilitation. The aetiological factors of ONFH can currently be divided into two major categories: traumatic and nontraumatic; however, the specific pathological mechanism of ONFH is not completely clear. Currently, the staging system of ONFH formulated by the Association Research Circulation Osseous is widely used in clinical practice. Based on the changes in the intraosseous blood supply at different stages, the corresponding nonsurgical and surgical treatments are recommended, and when there are risk factors for possible ONFH, certain preventive measures to avoid the occurrence of osteonecrosis are recommended. These guidelines provide brief classification criteria and treatment regimen for osteonecrosis. Specification of the aetiology, treatment plan based on comprehensive consideration of the different stages of osteonecrosis, hip function, age, and occupation of the patients are important steps in diagnosis and developing treatment strategies. TRANSLATIONAL POTENTIAL OF THIS ARTICLE New advances in the epidemiology, etiology, pathophysiology, imaging, diagnosis and treatment of ONFH have been renewed in this revision. This guideline can be used for reference by orthopedic professionals and researchers, and for standardized diagnosis and treatment management under the clinical guidance, which is conducive to the prevention, treatment and further research of ONFH, improving the diagnosis and treatment level, making patients' symptoms under good control, and improving their quality of life.

Abstract
Osteonecrosis of the femoral head is a poorly understood condition that may lead to progressive destruction of the hip joint. Its incidence is common between the third and fifth decades of life and it is the diagnosis behind 5–18% of annually performed total hip arthroplasties (THAs) in the USA. Regarding the high rate of complications of THA in that age group, authors have agreed on the importance of joint-preservation techniques for this disease but techniques vary to establish a generally accepted algorithmic approach. Surgical head-preserving procedures, core decompression with or without graft, stem cell augmentation, or biologic adjuncts, vascularized bone grafting, and proximal femoral osteotomies have all been published on with heterogeneous results and with limited evidence to date. Consensus states that the prognosis of patients with osteonecrosis of the femoral head can be significantly improved with early diagnosis and timely intervention.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Core decompression (CD) is an important method for the treatment of osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH). Few articles investigate the influence of core decompression on outcomes of ONFH. This study was carried out to observe the safety and effectiveness of core decompression in the treatment of ONFH. METHODS A comprehensive literature search of databases including PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library was performed to collect the related studies. The medical subject headings used were "femur head necrosis" and "Core decompression." The relevant words in title or abstract included but not limited to "Osteonecrosis of the Femoral Head," "femoral head necrosis," "avascular necrosis of femoral head," and "ischemic necrosis of femoral head." The methodological index for nonrandomized studies was adopted for assessing the studies included in this review. RESULTS Thirty-two studies included 1865 patients (2441 hips). Twenty-one studies (1301 hips) using Ficat staging standard, 7 studies (338hips) using Association Research Circulation Osseous (ARCO) staging standard, and University of Pennsylvania system for staging avascular necrosis (UPSS) staging criteria for 4 studies (802 hips). All the studies recorded the treatment, 22 studies (1379 hips) were treated with core decompression (CD) alone, and 7 studies (565 hips) were treated with core decompression combined with autologous bone (CD Autologous bone). Nine subjects (497 hips) were treated with core decompression combined with autologous bone marrow (CD Marrow). Twenty-seven studies (2120 hips) documented the number of conversion to total hip replacement (THA), and 26 studies (1752hips) documented the number of radiographic progression (RP). Twenty-one studies recorded the types of complications and the number of cases, a total of 69 cases. The random-effect model was used for meta-analysis, and the results showed that the overall success rate was 65%. The rate of success showed significant difference on the outcomes of different stages. The rate of success, conversion to THA, and radiographic progression showed significant difference on the outcomes of ONFH using different treatments. CONCLUSIONS Core decompression is an effective and safe method of treating ONFH. The combined use of autologous bone or bone marrow can increase the success rate. For advanced femoral head necrosis, the use of CD should be cautious. High-quality randomized controlled trials and prospective studies will be necessary to clarify the effects of different etiology factors, treatments, and postoperative rehabilitation. Until then, the surgeon can choose core decompression to treat ONFH depending on the patient's condition. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE I Meta-analysis.

Abstract
Objective To compare the effectiveness of sequestrum clearance and impacting bone graft via surgical hip dislocation approach and core decompression and bone graft for avascular necrosis of the femoral head (ANFH) at Association Research Circulation Osseous (ARCO) stage Ⅲ. Methods A clinical data of 60 patients (69 hips) of non-traumatic ANFH at ARCO stage Ⅲ, which met the inclusion criteria between October 2013 and April 2016, was retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 24 patients (28 hips) were treated with sequestrum clearance and impacting bone graft via surgical hip dislocation approach (group A); and 36 patients (41 hips) were treated with core decompression, sequestrum clearance, impacting bone graft, and nonvascular fibular allograft supporting (group B). There was no significant difference in gender, age, disease duration, affected side, type and stage of the ANFH, and preoperative Harris hip score and visual analogue scale (VAS) score between the two groups ( P>0.05). After operation, the function of the hip was evaluated by Harris hip score, imaging examination was performed to observe the femoral head shape and evaluate whether the hip preserving success. Results The incisions of two groups healed by first intention. All patients were followed up. The follow-up time was 12-48 month (mean, 25.8 months) in group A and 12-54 months (mean, 26.4 months) in group B. At last follow-up, 5 hips in group A were classified as clinical failure, femoral head survival rate was 82.1%, the median survival time was 43 months. While 19 hips in group B were classified as clinical failure, femoral head survival rate was 53.7%, the median survival time was 42 months. There was significant difference in survival curve distribution between the two groups ( χ 2= 4.123, P=0.042), and the surgical procedures of group A was superior to group B. In the two groups, the Harris hip scores at last follow-up were significantly higher than preoperative ones ( P<0.05), and VAS scores were significantly lower than preoperative ones ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in Harris hip score and VAS score at last follow-up between the two groups ( P>0.05). All grafted bones got fusion according to the X-ray films, and there was no significant difference in the fusion time between the two groups ( t=0.752, P=0.456). In group A, greater trochanter bone cutting were healed well; and the heterotopic ossification around the hip joint occurred in 1 case. Conclusion The surgery of impacting bone graft via surgical hip dislocation approach and core decompression and bone graft can be applied to treat ANFH at ARCO stage ⅢA which was mild collapse and satisfactory effectiveness can be obtained. While for the patients of ANFH at ARCO stage Ⅲ B with severe collapse, the hip survival rate of the former is better than that of the latter.

Abstract
Objective: To propose a new definition of the pericollapse stage of osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) and review its significance in disease diagnosis and treatment selection. Data Sources: A search for eligible studies was conducted in three electronic databases including PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Embase up to August 10, 2018, using the following keywords: “osteonecrosis”, “prognosis”, and “treatment”. Study Selection: Investigations appraising the clinical signs, symptoms, and imaging manifestations in different stages of ONFH were included. Articles evaluating the prognosis of various joint-preserving procedures were also reviewed. Results: The pericollapse stage refers to a continuous period in the development of ONFH from the occurrence of subchondral fracture to early collapse (<2 mm), possessing specific imaging features that mainly consist of bone marrow edema and joint effusion on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), crescent signs on X-ray films, and clinical manifestations such as the sudden worsening of hip pain. Accumulating evidence has indicated that these findings may be secondary to the changes after subchondral fractures. Of note, computed tomography provides more information for identifying possible subchondral fractures than does MRI and serves as the most sensitive tool for grading the pericollapse lesion stage. The pericollapse stage may indicate a high possibility of progressive disease but also demonstrates satisfactory long- and medium-term outcomes for joint-preserving techniques. In fact, if the articular surface subsides more than 2 mm, total hip arthroplasty is preferable. Conclusions: The pericollapse stage with distinct clinical and imaging characteristics provides a last good opportunity for the use of joint-preserving techniques. It is necessary to separate the pericollapse stage as an independent state in evaluating the natural progression of ONFH and selecting an appropriate treatment regimen.

Abstract
The treatment of adult osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH), with 8.12 million patients in China, remains a challenge to surgeons. To standardize and improve the efficacy of the treatment of ONFH, Chinese specialists updated the experts' suggestions in March 2015, and an experts' consensus was given to provide a current basis for the diagnosis, treatment and evaluation of ONFH. The current guideline provides recommendations for ONFH with respect to epidemiology, etiology, diagnostic criteria, differential diagnosis, staging, treatment, as well as rehabilitation. Risk factors of non-traumatic ONFH include corticosteroid use, alcohol abuse, dysbarism, sickle cell disease and autoimmune disease and others, but the etiology remains unclear. The Association Research Circulation Osseous (ARCO) staging system, including plain radiograph, magnetic resonance imaging, radionuclide examination, and histological findings, is frequently used in staging ONFH. A staging and classification system was proposed by Chinese scholars in recent years. The major differential diagnoses include mid-late term osteoarthritis, transient osteoporosis, and subchondral insufficiency fracture. Management alternatives for ONFH consist of non-operative treatment and operative treatment. Core decompression is currently the most common procedure used in the early stages of ONFH. Vascularized bone grafting is the recommended treatment for ARCO early stage III ONFH. This guideline gives a brief account of principles for selection of treatment for ONFH, and stage, classification, volume of necrosis, joint function, age of the patient, patient occupation, and other factors should be taken into consideration.

Abstract
Non-traumatic osteonecrosis of the femoral head is a potentially devastating condition, the prevalence of which is increasing. Many joint-preserving forms of treatment, both medical and surgical, have been developed in an attempt to slow or reverse its progression, as it usually affects young patients. However, it is important to evaluate the best evidence that is available for the many forms of treatment considering the variation in the demographics of the patients, the methodology and the outcomes in the studies that have been published, so that it can be used effectively. The purpose of this review, therefore, was to provide an up-to-date, evidence-based guide to the management, both non-operative and operative, of non-traumatic osteonecrosis of the femoral head.

Abstract
➤ Although multiple theories have been proposed, no one pathophysiologic mechanism has been identified as the etiology for the development of osteonecrosis of the femoral head. However, the basic mechanism involves impaired circulation to a specific area that ultimately becomes necrotic.➤ A variety of nonoperative treatment regimens have been evaluated for the treatment of precollapse disease, with varying success. Prospective, multicenter, randomized trials are needed to evaluate the efficacy of these regimens in altering the natural history of the disease.➤ Joint-preserving procedures are indicated in the treatment of precollapse disease, with several studies showing successful outcomes at mid-term and long-term follow-up.➤ Studies of total joint arthroplasty, once femoral head collapse is present, have described excellent outcomes at greater than ten years of follow-up, which is a major advance and has led to a paradigm shift in treating these patients.➤ The results of hemiresurfacing and total resurfacing arthroplasty have been suboptimal, and these procedures have restricted indications in patients with osteonecrosis of the femoral head.

Abstract
Over the past three decades, non-vascularized bone grafts have been demonstrated to be viable treatments for pre- and early post-collapse osteonecrosis of the femoral head; however, there are limited reviews on this topic. Therefore, the purposes of this review are to (1) provide a summary of the different surgical techniques and their respective clinical outcomes and (2) evaluate new adjunct therapies. Originally, non-vascularized bone grafting was performed using the Phemister technique with varying results. More recently, newer techniques such as the lightbulb and trapdoor are used to place non-vascularized bone grafts with excellent results. The addition of various biological agents has demonstrated positive results; however, further studies are needed to confirm the best appropriate indications and to elucidate long-term results.
