Moon JK, Park J, Yoo Y, Yoon JY, Lee S, Yoon PW. The efficacy of Denosumab in the treatment of femoral head osteonecrosis: a retrospective comparative study. Sci Rep 2024; 14:4140. [PMID: 38374383 PMCID: PMC10876926 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-54685-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/12/2023] [Accepted: 02/15/2024] [Indexed: 02/21/2024] Open
Abstract
The present study aimed to compare clinical and radiological differences of ONFH patients who were treated with denosumab, and a control group. A total of 178 patients (272 hips) with symptomatic, nontraumatic ONFH were divided into a denosumab group (98 patients, 146 hips) and a control group (80 patients, 126 hips). Patients in the denosumab group received a 60 mg subcutaneous dose of denosumab every 6 months. For the clinical assessments, Harris hip scores (HHS), Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) were evaluated. Plain radiographs and MRI were performed before and a minimum of 1 year after administration of denosumab, which were evaluated for radiological results including femoral head collapse (≥ 2 mm) and volume change of necrotic lesion. Femoral head collapse occurred in 36 hips (24.7%) in the denosumab group, and 48 hips (38.1%) in the control group, which was statistically significant (P = 0.012). Twenty-three hips (15.8%) in the denosumab group and 29 hips (23%) in the control group required THA, which showed no significant difference (P = 0.086). At the final follow-up, 71.9% of hips in the denosumab group had a good or excellent HHS compared with 48.9% in the control group, showing a significant difference (P = 0.012). The denosumab group showed a significantly higher rate of necrotic lesion volume reductions compared with the control group (P < 0.001). Denosumab can significantly reduce the volume of necrotic lesions and prevent femoral head collapse in patients with ARCO stage I or II ONFH.

Abstract
Osteoclasts are the primary target for osteoporosis drug development. Recent animal studies revealed the crucial roles of osteoblasts in regulating osteoclastogenesis and the longer lifespans of osteoclasts than previously thought with fission and recycling. However, existing culture platforms are limited to replicating these newly identified cellular processes. We report a demineralized bone paper (DBP)-based osteoblast culture and osteoclast assay platform that replicates osteoclast fusion, fission, resorption, and apoptosis with high fidelity and analytical power. An osteoid-inspired DBP supports rapid and structural mineral deposition by osteoblasts. Coculture osteoblasts and bone marrow monocytes under biochemical stimulation recapitulate osteoclast differentiation and function. The DBP-based bone model allows longitudinal quantitative fluorescent monitoring of osteoclast responses to bisphosphonate drug, substantiating significantly reducing their number and lifespan. Finally, we demonstrate the feasibility of humanizing the bone model. The DBP-based osteo assay platforms are expected to advance bone remodeling-targeting drug development with improved prediction of clinical outcomes.

Comparison of the prophylactic use of ibandronate and its use in early-stage osteonecrosis in rats with steroid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head. Jt Dis Relat Surg 2023; 34:640-650. [PMID: 37750269 PMCID: PMC10546859 DOI: 10.52312/jdrs.2023.1096] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/11/2023] [Accepted: 06/15/2023] [Indexed: 09/27/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of ibandronate before and after the onset of osteonecrosis in rats with steroid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 24 female Sprague-Dawley rats were used in this study. Three groups were formed with eight rats in each group. The first group was the prophylactic group that received ibandronate treatment before and after the onset of osteonecrosis (Group PT). The second group received ibandronate treatment three weeks after the development of osteonecrosis (Group TAO). The third group was the control group in which osteonecrosis was created, but only normal saline (NS) was given. At the end of the study, all rats were sacrificed, and their right femoral heads were removed, fixed with formalin, and sent for micro-computed tomography. Hematoxylin-eosin (H&E) and immunohistochemical examinations of the right femoral head sections were performed. RESULTS In the PT group, the trabecular thickness was significantly higher compared to those of the TAO and control groups (p<0.05). The trabecular thickness did not significantly differ between the TAO and control groups. The trabecular bone pattern factor was significantly higher in the PT group compared to the control and TAO groups (p<0.05); however, it showed no significant difference between the TAO and control groups. The incidence of type 2 osteonecrosis in the PT and TAO groups was significantly lower than that in the control group (p<0.05). The incidence of tissue-non-specific alkaline phosphatase (TNAPase) immunoreactivity of osteoblast positivity was significantly higher in the PT and TAO groups compared to the control group (p<0.05), whereas the incidence of TRAPase immunoreactivity of osteoclastic positivity was significantly lower in the PT and TAO groups compared to the control group (p<0.05). CONCLUSION Intravenous administration of ibandronate before the onset of the disease was more effective in the treatment of osteonecrosis in rats with steroid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head.

Abstract
Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is a multifactorial disease leading to severely limited function. By far, the etiology and pathogenesis of ONFH are not fully understood, and surgery is the only effective way to treat ONFH. This study aims to identify hub genes and therapeutic drugs in ONFH. Two gene expression profiles were downloaded from the gene expression omnibus database, and the hub genes and candidate drugs for ONFH were identified through integrated bioinformatics analysis and cross-validated by literature mining. A total of 159 DEGs were identified. PTGS2, LRRK2, ANXA5, IGF1R, MCL1, TIMP2, LYN, CD68, CBL, and RUNX2 were validated as 10 hub genes, which has considerable implications for future genetic research and related research fields of ONFH. Our findings indicate that 85 drugs interact with ONFH, with most drugs exhibiting a positive impact on ONFH by promoting osteogenesis and angiogenesis or inhibiting microcirculation embolism, rather than being anti-inflammatory. Our study provides novel insights into the pathogenesis, prevention, and treatment of ONFH.

Acta Biomater 2023; 164:15-73.

Abstract
Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH), a progressive pathological process of femoral head ischemia and osteocyte necrosis, is a refractory orthopedic disease caused by multiple etiologies and there is no complete cure at present. With the extension of ONFH duration, osteocyte apoptosis and trabecular bone loss can decrease the load-bearing capacity of the femoral head, which leads to the collapse of the articular cartilage and subchondral bone. Therefore, an urgent clinical need exists to develop effective treatment strategies of early-stage ONFH for maintaining the hip joint function and preventing femoral head collapse. In recent years, extensive attention has been paid to the application of diverse biomaterials in treating early ONFH for sustaining the normal morphology and function of the autologous femoral head, and slowing disease progression. Herein, we review the research progress of bone grafts, metallic materials, bioceramics, bioglasses and polymer materials for early ONFH treatment, and discuss the biological mechanisms of bone repair and regeneration in the femoral-head necrotic area. We propose suggestions for future research directions, from a special perspective of improving the local microenvironment in femoral head by facilitating vessel-associated osteoclasts (VAOs) generation and coupling of bone-specific angiogenesis and osteogenesis, as well as inhibiting bone-associated osteoclasts (BAOs) and BAO-mediated bone resorption. This review can provide ideas for the research, development, and clinical application of biomaterials for treating early ONFH. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: We believe that at least three aspects of this manuscript make it interesting to readers of the Acta Biomaterialia. First, we briefly summarize the incidence, pathogenesis, risk factors, classification criteria and treatment of early osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH). Second, we review the research progress in biomaterials for early ONFH treatment and the biological mechanisms of bone repair and regeneration in femoral-head necrotic area. Third, we propose future research progress on improving the local microenvironment in femoral head by facilitating vessel-associated osteoclasts generation and coupling of bone-specific angiogenesis and osteogenesis, as well as inhibiting bone-associated osteoclasts and bone resorption. We hope this review can provide ideas for the research, development, and clinical application of biomaterials for treating early ONFH.

Denosumab Can Prevent Collapse in Patients with Early-Stage Steroid-Induced Osteonecrosis of the Femoral Head by Inhibiting Osteoclasts and Autophagy. Orthop Surg 2022; 15:256-265. [PMID: 36398455 PMCID: PMC9837242 DOI: 10.1111/os.13584] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/20/2022] [Revised: 10/10/2022] [Accepted: 10/16/2022] [Indexed: 11/20/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The osteoclastic bone resorption inhibitors might have positive effect in preventing femoral head collapse in patients with osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH). However, as a novel osteoclastic inhibitor, whether denosumab can prevent collapse in steroid-induced ONFH remains unknown. This study aims to evaluate the treatment effect of denosumab and the potential protective mechanism. METHODS This was a retrospective study. A total of 161 patients with steroid-induced ONFH who underwent denosumab treatment were reviewed, and 209 untreated patients were selected as controls. Their clinical characteristics and radiological exam results were obtained. Patients were treated with 60 mg denosumab every 6 months for 2 years. The primary outcome was the incidence of femoral head collapse at 2 years after the initial diagnosis of ONFH. Secondary outcomes included the Harris hip score, progression of osteosclerosis, increase in necrotic area, bone marrow oedema relief, and bone mineral density increase in the femoral head. The Mann-Whitney U test and chi-square tests were performed to identify the differences between the continuous and categorical variables, respectively. A multivariate logistic regression model was built to identify the factors associated with the treatment effect of denosumab. RESULTS The incidence of femoral head collapse was 42.24% (68/161) in the denosumab group and 54.07% (113/209) in the control group (χ2 = 5.094, p = 0.024; relative risk = 0.787, 95% CI = 0.627-0.973). The excellent-good rates of the Harris hip score were 63.98% (103/161) in the denosumab group and 44.98% (94/209) in the control group (χ2 = 13.186, p < 0.001). The incidence of osteosclerosis progression in the denosumab group was 55.28% (89/161), which was significantly higher than that in the control group (43.54%, 91/209, χ2 = 5.016, p = 0.025). Meanwhile, a significant increase in bone mineral density was identified in 29.19% (47/161) and 7.18% (15/209) of patients in the denosumab and control groups, respectively (χ2 = 31.600, p < 0.001). The osteoclastic cytoplasm expression of LC3-II was more positive in the control group than in the denosumab group (immunohistochemistry scoring: 3.58 ± 2.27 vs 6.33 ± 2.64, Z = -2.684, p = 0.007). A total of three independent factors were considered to be associated with the positive treatment effect of denosumab, the time of first denosumab administration (OR = 2.010, 95% CI = 1.272-3.177), osteosclerosis (OR = 1.583, 95% CI = 1.024-2.445), and the necrotic area before denosumab administration (medium necrotic area: OR = 2.084, 95% CI = 1.245-3.487; large necrotic area: OR = 2.211, 95% CI = 1.255-3.893). CONCLUSIONS The current study demonstrated that denosumab had a positive effect on preventing femoral head collapse in patients with steroid ONFH. This effect might be closely associated with the inhibition of osteoclasts and their autophagy.

Abstract
Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is the most prevalent musculoskeletal pathologic manifestation of sickle cell disease (SCD) resulting in an osteonecrotic event. This review aimed to summarize mechanisms involved in pathophysiology of ONFH and treatment options available in Saudi Arabia to treat SCD patients with complication of osteonecrotic event. The pathophysiology of ONFH include genetic and micro particles involvement. The progression of osteonecrosis involves reduced levels of bioactive compounds in peripheral blood mononuclear cells and elevated CD4+T circulating levels to stimulate pro-inflammatory cytokines contributing to inflammation at target site. Initial treatment approach is pharmacological agents use to mitigate risk. Further, bone morphogenetic protein stimulation initiate bone formation and treatment can be improved with the use of bone morphogenetic protein, total hip arthroplasty and cell therapies. This review provides baseline information for future studies to be carried out in Saudi Arabia to improve treatment options in SCD patients with ONFH.

Abstract
Among the pathologies that affect the hip joint, osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is probably the most intriguing and challenging. It consists of a multifactorial disease with a highly-variable spectrum in its clinical presentation. It has a devastating effect, due to disabling painful conditions, both for usual activities and sports. Given the huge range of risk factors, such as prolonged use of corticosteroids (especially in cases of rheumatologic diseases), trauma sequelae, sickle cell anemia, HIV, alcoholism, smoking, blood dyscrasias, and several other diseases that compromise the blood supply to the femoral head, ONFH has a varied clinical presentation and prognosis, which makes it difficult to determine a specific treatment, especially in cases in which chondral involvement has not yet occurred and the hip joint is still preserved. These are the main factors found in the literature that determine the classifications of this pathology. The range of treatments includes several options for cases in which an attempt is made to save the joint: conservative treatment, traditional decompression and/or combined with some type of adjuvant treatment (homologous grafting, synthetic grafting, vascularized grafts, tantalum screws, and bone marrow aspirate injection), and, for cases in which there is already a subchondral fracture and/or collapse of the femoral head and/or a reduction in the joint space, femoral osteotomies or total hip arthroplasty are commonly performed.

Abstract
AbstractCore decompression (CD) with the elimination of osteonecrotic bone is the most common strategy for treating early-stage nontraumatic osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH). Adjuvant treatments are widely used in combination with CD as suitable methods of therapy. Existing augmentations have to be fabricated in advance. Here, we report a novel injectable glycerin-modified polycaprolactone (GPCL) that can adapt to the shape of the CD cavity. GPCL shows great flowability at 52.6 °C. After solidification, its compressive modulus was 120 kPa at body temperature (37 °C). This excellent characteristic enables the polymer to provide mechanical support in vivo. In addition, GPCL acts as a carrier of the therapeutic agent zoledronic acid (ZA), demonstrating sustained release into the CD region. ZA-loaded GPCL was injected into ONFH lesions to treat early-stage nontraumatic cases. Compared to that in the CD group, CD+ZA-loaded GPCL injection preserved bone density and increased the collagen level in the femoral head. At the interface between the GPCL and CD tunnel wall, osteogenesis was significantly promoted. In addition, morphological evaluations revealed that the femoral heads in the CD+ZA-GPCL group exhibited improved pressure resistance. These results suggest a strategy effective to preserve the bone density of the femoral head, thus decreasing the possibility of femoral head collapse. This novel injectable polymer has, therefore, considerable potential in clinical applications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Core decompression (CD) is an effective method in the management of pre-collapse stage of osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH). It has been combined with various adjuvants to increase the efficacy including bone marrow aspirate concentration and platelet rich plasma. We evaluated a cheaper alternative in the form of ibandronate as an adjuvant to CD and to highlight the technique, safety, and early outcomes. METHODS The patients in the age group of 18-60 presenting with atraumatic ONFH in the pre-collapse stage were included in the study. The patients were followed up to a period of 1 year and evaluated in terms of radiologic progression and functional outcome (Modified Harris Hip Score [MHHS] and Visual Analog Scale [1]). RESULTS The study included six hips in five patients (three females and two males) ranging from 18 to 57 years. There was no sign of stage progression or collapse on radiography. The average post-operative MHHS was 87.4 (73.7-96.7) while VAS score improved from 2.8 to 1.3 postoperatively (p=0.00395). CONCLUSION The use of ibandronate as an adjuvant with CD shows promise. It is safe and provides good clinical improvement and is a cheaper alternative. However, the interpretation is limited due to the small number of patients and short duration of follow-up.

Abstract
Osteonecrosis (ON) is one of the serious and well recognized complicationscausing severe pain and disability in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and its manifestation and pathogenesis are only partially understood. This review provide an update of the recent progress in etiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of systemic lupus erythematosus related osteonecrosis (SLE-ON). Despite the concomitant use of corticosteroids, alcohol and obesity, the dysregulated immune micro-environment and the complex pathogenesis of SLE synergistically play important roles in the development of ON. Osteonecrosis of femoral head (ONFH) is the most often involved joint in SLE. The current classification and staging system of ONFH is based on imaging techniques, particularly relating to MRI and CT, for the identification and quantification of necrotic lesions. For SLE-ONFH patients, both SLE specific clinical symptoms and ONFH imaging findings should be comprehensively evaluated. Even though advances concerning bone grafting and arthroplasty procedures have resulted in improved clinical outcomes, early pharmacological treatment at the pre-collapse stage may prevent joint collapse and reduce the joint arthroplasty rate, and this needs to be accounted. Although some progress has been made, considerably more research is needed before we fully understand SLE-ONFH. Future treatments of SLE-ONFH may involve genetic or cell-based therapies that target potential biomarkers, and this will lead to effective measures for saving thefunction of hip joint and preventing osteonecrosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteonecrosis is a devastating side effect of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) therapy. Associations between bone density loss and osteonecrosis have sparked interest in using bisphosphonates to reduce this complication. PROCEDURE We assessed the impact of zoledronic acid (ZA) on the development of osteonecrosis in murine models when used either throughout therapy (continuous administration) or late in therapy after vascular lesions have developed but before osteonecrosis has occurred. Effects on bone density were measured using microcomputed tomography (μCT)-assessed tibial cortical thickness, while osteonecrosis was assessed histologically in the distal femur. Effects on antileukemic efficacy of chemotherapy were evaluated in both immunocompetent/syngeneic and patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models. RESULTS Continuous administration of ZA with chemotherapy prevented chemotherapy-associated bone loss (p < .001) and reduced osteonecrosis (p = .048). Late initiation of ZA diminished bone loss (p < .001) but had no impact on the development of osteonecrosis (p = .93). In the immunocompetent murine ALL model, mice treated with ZA and chemotherapy succumbed to leukemia sooner than mice treated with chemotherapy alone (p = .046). Analysis using PDX showed a nonsignificant decrease in survival with ZA (p = .17). CONCLUSION Our data indicate ZA may prevent osteonecrosis if begun with chemotherapy but showed no benefit when administered later in therapy. However, ZA may also reduce the antileukemic efficacy of chemotherapy.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) often leads to secondary osteoarthritis and total hip arthroplasty. SOURCE OF DATA Recent published literatures. AREAS OF AGREEMENT There has been increasing focus on the early intervention in ONFH patients to preserve the native hip articulation, reduce pain and improve function. AREAS OF CONTROVERSY Efficacy of surgical strategies for ONFH is debated. Several clinical studies showed controversial results, and the best treatment has not yet been clarified. GROWING POINTS To provide an overview over current treatment options for ONFH compares their failure rates and conversion to total hip arthroplasty (THA) rates. AREAS TIMELY FOR DEVELOPING RESEARCH Core decompression (CD) augmented with autologous bone grafting plus the implantation of bone marrow concentrate can decrease the rate of failure and progression to THA rates compared to CD alone.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Osteonecrosis (ON), which can lead to physical disability, is a common complication of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of ON and identify possible risk factors in Chinese SLE patients. METHODS SLE patients who fulfilled the 1997 American College of Rheumatology SLE classification criteria were recruited from the Peking Union Medical College Hospital. The chi-square test (χ2 test) and multivariate regression analyses were used to evaluate risk factors. The Cox proportional-hazards model was used to construct the survival curves and estimate the simultaneous effects of prognostic factors on survival. RESULTS We consecutively enrolled 1,158 patients, of which 88 patients (7.6%) developed ON. Among ON patients, 57.1% of patients had isolated femoral head necrosis and 42.9% had multiple joint involvement. The mean age of ON patients (24.62 ± 8.89 years) was significantly younger than SLE patients without ON (27.23 ± 10.16 years, p = 0.09). The ON group presented with a much longer disease course (10.68 ± 5.97 years, p < 0.001) and increased incidence of arthritis, kidney, and central nervous system (CNS) involvement (65.9% [p < 0.05], 57.6% [p < 0.05], and 16.5% [p < 0.05], respectively, in the ON group). ON patients were more likely to be treated with glucocorticoid (GC) and to receive a high dose of prednisolone at the initial stage of SLE (p < 0.05). The percentage of patients who received hydroxychloroquine was much higher in the control group (p < 0.001). Cox regression analysis suggested that CNS involvement and GC therapy were two independent risk factors for ON in SLE patients. The presence of anti-phospholipid antibodies (aPLs) was a risk factor for multiple joint necrosis (odds ratio: 6.28, p = 0.009). CONCLUSIONS ON remains a serious and irreversible complication in SLE. In addition to glucocorticoid therapy, we found that CNS system involvement was a risk factor for ON, while the administration of hydroxychloroquine was a protective factor. The clinical characteristics of multiple site ON patients were distinct from isolated femoral head necrosis patients. The presence of aPLs was a risk factor for multiple site osteonecrosis.

Abstract
Although many studies have shown that hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy can significantly improve symptoms and quality of life of patients affected by femoral head necrosis, this therapy is not worldwide approved yet. This meta-analysis was performed to evaluate its clinical effect. Relevant studies published before May 2020 were systematically searched using terms related to HBO and femoral head necrosis. Fixed and random-effects models were used to estimate the odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI). Subgroup analyses and publication bias tests were carried out to explore potential study heterogeneity and bias. Ten studies involving 353 controls and 368 HBO-treated cases were included, most of which were conducted on Asian population. The clinical effect in the HBO therapy group was 3.84 times higher than in the control group (OR = 3.84, 95% CI (2.10, 7.02), p < 0.00001). Subgroup analyses showed that the clinical effect of HBO therapy was statistically significant in the Asian subpopulation which represented most of the subjects (OR = 3.53, 95% CI (1.87, 6.64), p < 0.00001), but not in the non-Asian subpopulation, probably because of insufficient numerosity (OR = 7.41, 95% CI (0.73, 75.71), p = 0.09). The results of this meta-analysis suggest that patients with femoral head necrosis treated with HBO therapy can achieve a significant clinical improvement.

Abstract
Trabecular bone maintains physiological homeostasis and consistent structure and mass through repeated cycles of bone remodeling by means of tightly localized regulation. The molecular and cellular processes that regulate localized bone remodeling are poorly understood because of a lack of relevant experimental models. A tissue-engineered model is described here that reproduces bone tissue complexity and bone remodeling processes with high fidelity and control. An osteoid-inspired biomaterial-demineralized bone paper-directs osteoblasts to deposit structural mineralized bone tissue and subsequently acquire the resting-state bone lining cell phenotype. These cells activate and shift their secretory profile to induce osteoclastogenesis in response to chemical stimulation. Quantitative spatial mapping of cellular activities in resting and activated bone surface coculture showed that the resting-state bone lining cell network actively directs localized bone remodeling by means of paracrine signaling and cell-to-cell contact. This model may facilitate further investigation of trabecular bone niche biology.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To predict the progression of femoral head collapse in Association Research Circulation Osseous (ARCO) Stage 2-3A osteonecrosis based on the initial bone resorption lesion. METHODS A retrospective analysis of the location, attenuation, and maximum area in coronal position (MAC) of the initial bone resorption lesion in ARCO Stage 2 and 3A was conducted in 85 cases of osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH). The cases were divided into rapid and slow progression groups according to whether femoral head collapse at follow-up was greater than 2 mm. The characteristics of the bone resorption lesion between the two groups were compared by analysis of variance. Receiver operating characteristic curve was used to analyze the MAC, regions of A2, and C1 of bone resorption lesion in predicting collapse progression. RESULTS The MAC of initial bone resorption lesion in rapid progression group (117.8 ± 72.1 mm2) was significantly larger than slow (53.1 ± 39.5 mm2) (p < 0.001). Regions of A2 and C1 involved were significantly higher in rapid than slow progression group. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of MAC, regions of A2 and C1 of bone resorption lesion to predict collapse progression were 0.81, 0.72 and 0.62 respectively. A threshold MAC of 49 mm2 had sensitivity of 86.1% and specificity of 61.9% to predict collapse progression. CONCLUSIONS The MAC of initial bone resorption lesion in ARCO Stage 2-3A ONFH can predict the progression of femoral head collapse. If it is greater than 49 mm2 and located in regions of A2 and C1, the possibility of rapid progression is high, active monitoring and intervention should be recommended. ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE This study is the first to find that the maximum area in coronal position of initial bone resorption lesion in ARCO Stage 2 or 3A can predict progression of the femoral head collapse with a threshold of 49 mm2. If the maximum area is larger than 49 mm2 and located in the anterolateral or lateral column of the femoral head, the possibility of rapid collapse progression is high, therefore, monitoring should be strengthened and active intervention should be considered.

Abstract
Bone health disturbances commonly occur after hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) with loss of bone mineral density (BMD) and avascular necrosis (AVN) foremost among them. BMD loss is related to pretransplantation chemotherapy and radiation exposure and immunosuppressive therapy for graft-versus-host-disease (GVHD) and results from deficiencies in growth or gonadal hormones, disturbances in calcium and vitamin D homeostasis, as well as osteoblast and osteoclast dysfunction. Although the pathophysiology of AVN remains unclear, high-dose glucocorticoid exposure is the most frequent association. Various societal treatment guidelines for osteoporosis exist, but the focus is mainly on menopausal-associated osteoporosis. HCT survivors comprise a distinct population with unique comorbidities, making general approaches to bone health management inappropriate in some cases. To address a core set of 16 frequently asked questions (FAQs) relevant to bone health in HCT, the American Society of Transplant and Cellular Therapy Committee on Practice Guidelines convened a panel of experts in HCT, adult and pediatric endocrinology, orthopedics, and oral medicine. Owing to a lack of relevant prospective controlled clinical trials that specifically address bone health in HCT, the answers to the FAQs rely on evidence derived from retrospective HCT studies, results extrapolated from prospective studies in non-HCT settings, relevant societal guidelines, and expert panel opinion. Given the heterogenous comorbidities and needs of individual HCT recipients, answers to FAQs in this article should be considered general recommendations, with good medical practice and judgment ultimately dictating care of individual patients. Readers are referred to the Supplementary Material for answers to additional FAQs that did not make the core set.

Combined Pharmacotherapy with Alendronate and Desferoxamine Regulate the Bone Resorption and Bone Regeneration for Preventing Glucocorticoids-Induced Osteonecrosis of the Femoral Head. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2020; 2020:3120458. [PMID: 33029500 PMCID: PMC7532397 DOI: 10.1155/2020/3120458] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/31/2020] [Revised: 09/04/2020] [Accepted: 09/15/2020] [Indexed: 12/01/2022]
Abstract
Background Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is a challenge for surgeons and is still without effective treatment method. This study is aimed at evaluating the combined pharmacotherapy with alendronate and desferoxamine for preventing glucocorticoid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head (GIOFH) and evaluating the efficacy of the combined medicine in regulating the bone resorption and bone regeneration. Materials and Methods Thirty-six rats were randomly assigned to three groups: group A received alendronate and desferoxamine (n = 12), group B received alendronate only (n = 12), and group C acted as the control group received placebo (n = 12). All rats induced the GIOFH using methylprednisolone combined with lipopolysaccharide. Eight weeks later, all rats were killed and their tissues were subjected to radiographic and histological analyses. Results According to the results, alendronate administration improved the trabecular thickness and separation in micro-CT analysis but had no significant evidence in increasing the bone area and decreasing the ratio of osteocyte lacunae in histological analysis when compared with the control group. Meanwhile, the alendronate group had more OCs, but less OCN and VEGF levels along with decreased p-AKT, HIF-1α, RANKL, and NFATc1 expressions than the control group. For comparison, alendronate combined with DFO further improved the bone volume, trabecular number, trabecular separation, and trabecular thickness with lower ratio of osteocyte lacunae and OC number, higher expression of OCN and VEGF and upregulated signal factors of HIF-1α and β-catenin, and decreased RANKL and NFATc1. Conclusion Combined pharmacotherapy with alendronate and desferoxamine provide significant effects in regulating the bone resorption and bone regeneration for preventing GIOFN.

[PMID: 32445893 DOI: 10.1016/j.bone.2020.115443] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/25/2020] [Revised: 05/14/2020] [Accepted: 05/19/2020] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
The anti-resorptive properties of bisphosphonates have been explored to manage several conditions that traditionally have required a surgical solution. In osteonecrosis, their use is predicated on the principle that bone collapse occurs during the revascularisation phase of the disease. If the associated resorptive activity were modulated, the resultant preserved joint architecture may improve clinical outcome and reduce the need for joint replacement. Pre-clinical and small-scale clinical studies have given non-conclusive support for this principle. Adequately powered clinical trials with relevant long-term endpoints are still required to firmly clarify the clinical efficacy of this treatment. Several clinical studies have shown that bisphosphonates can reduce periprosthetic bone loss and, in some situations, enhance implant fixation in the early period after joint replacement. This may be advantageous in settings where osseointegration is problematic. However, the ultimate goals of their use in joint replacement has been to reduce the incidence of late periprosthetic inflammatory osteolysis, the main cause of prosthesis failure. Population-based observational studies have associated bisphosphonate use with a lower incidence of revision surgery, supported by pre-clinical data. However, clinical trials have, to date, failed to demonstrate any efficacy for the human disease. The timing of bisphosphonate administration for secondary prevention after acute osteoporotic fracture has been subject to extensive investigation, with pre-clinical studies showing increased callus formation but decreased remodelling and no effect on the restoration of mechanical integrity of bone. Meta-analysis of clinical trial data indicates that early administration of bisphosphonate after acute fracture does not adversely affect fracture union, pain or functional outcomes. Finally, bisphosphonates have also been explored as a treatment for complex regional pain syndrome type-I. A recent meta-analysis has shown a beneficial effect on visual analogue scale pain scores, but an increase in mild adverse events.

Abstract
➢. Clinicians should exercise a high level of suspicion in at-risk patients (those who use corticosteroids, consume excessive alcohol, have sickle cell disease, etc.) in order to diagnose osteonecrosis of the femoral head in its earliest stage. ➢. Nonoperative treatment modalities have generally been ineffective at halting progression. Thus, nonoperative treatment is not appropriate in early stages when one is attempting to preserve the native joint, except potentially on rare occasions for small-sized, medially located lesions, which may heal without surgery. ➢. Joint-preserving procedures should be attempted in early-stage lesions to save the femoral head. ➢. Cell-based augmentation of joint-preserving procedures continues to show promising results, and thus should be considered as an ancillary treatment method that may improve clinical outcomes. ➢. The outcomes of total hip arthroplasty in the setting of osteonecrosis are excellent, with results similar to those in patients who have an underlying diagnosis of osteoarthritis.

Abstract
Osteonecrosis of the femoral head most commonly arises from trauma or corticosteroid and alcohol use but is also associated with blood dyscrasias and metabolic and coagulation disorders. Initial evaluation includes a history and physical examination and plain radiographs. Early-stage osteonecrosis is best evaluated by MRI. The Ficat and Arlet classification system is the most widely used. Nonoperative treatment has been studied using bisphosphonates, anticoagulants, vasodilators, statins, and biophysical modalities. Operative treatment includes core decompression with or without adjuvants, such as autologous bone marrow, whereas total hip arthroplasty is reserved for advanced-stage osteonecrosis in older patients or those who have failed joint-preserving treatment.

Abstract
Osteonecrosis of the femoral head is a disabling pathology affecting a young population (average age at treatment, 33 to 38 years) and is the most important cause of total hip arthroplasty in this population. It reflects the endpoint of various disease processes that result in a decrease of the femoral head blood flow.The physiopathology reflects an alteration of the vascularization of the fine blood vessels irrigating the anterior and superior part of the femoral head. This zone of necrosis is the source of the loss of joint congruence that leads to premature wear of the hip.Several different types of medication have been developed to reverse the process of ischemia and/or restore the vascularization of the femoral head. There is no consensus yet on a particular treatment.The surgical treatments aim to preserve the joint as far as the diagnosis could be made before the appearance of a zone of necrosis and the loss of joint congruence. They consist of bone marrow decompressions, osteotomies around the hip, vascular or non-vascular grafts.Future therapies include the use of biologically active molecules as well as implants impregnated with biologically active tissue.

Abstract
Background Various pharmacological treatments have been suggested to treat osteonecrosis of the femoral head. However, their practicability remains a controversial issue. Methods We systemically reviewed articles published during last 20 years to assess the efficacy and safety of the pharmacological treatments. Results To date, enoxaparin, statins, bisphosphonates, iloprost and acetylsalicylic acid have been practiced for the treatment of osteonecrosis. However, none of them were proven to be effective by high level studies, and most of them have adverse reactions. Conclusions No pharmacological prevention or treatment of osteonecrosis is recommendable at this moment.
