Abstract
BACKGROUND There is a scarcity of evidence regarding the potential relationship between the size and location of necrotic lesions, which must be understood to provide optimal joint-preserving treatment. The purpose of this study was to characterize the distribution patterns of necrotic lesions of varying sizes in early-stage osteonecrosis of femoral head (ONFH) with the use of three-dimensional mapping. METHODS We retrospectively evaluated clinical CT images of the hips that were performed in the Third Hospital of Hebei Medical University from January 2018 to December 2022 and collected all CT images diagnosed with stage I and II ONFH. Three-dimensional structures that included both necrotic lesions and normal areas of the femoral heads were reconstructed and divided into eight regions to record their size and location. CT images for all lesions were superimposed onto a standard template, and three-dimensional mapping was created to determine the presence of concentrated areas of lesions. RESULTS In a cohort of 143 patients with stage I and II ONFH, a total of 150 hips were reviewed. For lesions with less than 15% of the femoral head volume, necrotic lesions predominantly involve regions I, III, and V, with region I showing concentration. For lesions with volumes ranging from 15 to 30%, necrotic lesions exhibited a wider distribution across regions I, II, III, IV, V, and VII, with significant concentrations in regions I, III, and V. For lesions exceeding 30% of the femoral head volume, the necrotic lesions were extensively distributed across nearly the entire femoral head, with a notable expansion of the concentrated necrotic areas. CONCLUSIONS The distribution of necrotic lesions varies with lesion size, with smaller lesions primarily concentrated in the anterior and medial regions of the femoral head, particularly in the anterosuperior region, while larger lesions expand to the lateral and inferior regions. These findings enhance existing classification systems and provide crucial insights for guiding hip-preserving surgical planning and approaches.

Loss of walking independence one year after primary total hip arthroplasty for osteonecrosis of the femoral head: incidence and risk prediction model. J Orthop Surg Res 2024; 19:580. [PMID: 39300477 DOI: 10.1186/s13018-024-05071-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/26/2024] [Accepted: 09/09/2024] [Indexed: 09/22/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Assessment of postoperative ambulation in osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) patients treated with total hip arthroplasty (THA) is limited. This study aimed to define the incidence and risk factors for losing walking independence (LWI) at one-year postoperatively in patients with ONFH undergoing primary THA, and to establish and validate a predictive nomogram. METHODS This was a retrospective analysis of prospective collected data from patients admitted to a tertiary referral hospital with ONFH who underwent primary unilateral THA from October 2014 to March 2018. The Functional Independence Measure-Locomotion scale was used to quantify walking independence and was documented at a one-year continuous postoperative follow-up, which classified patients with a final score below 6 as LWI. Multivariate logistic regression identified independent risk factors for LWI, and a predictive nomogram was constructed based on the analysis results. The stability of the model was assessed using patients from April 2018 to April 2019 as an external validation set. RESULTS 1152 patients were enrolled in the study, of which 810 were used in the training cohort and the other 342 for the validation cohort. The incidence of LWI was 5.93%. Multivariate analysis revealed that age 62 years or older (odd ratio (OR) = 2.37, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.07-5.24), Charlson's comorbidity index 3 or higher (OR = 3.64, 95% CI 1.09-12.14), Association Research Circulation Osseous stage IV (OR = 2.16, 95% CI 1.03-4.54), reduced femoral offset (OR = 2.41, 95% CI 1.16-5.03), and a higher controlling nutritional status score (OR = 1.14, 95% CI 1.01-1.30) were independent risk factors of LWI. The nomogram had a concordance index of 0.773 and a Brier score of 0.049 in the training set, with corrected values of 0.747 and 0.051 after internal validation. The receiver-operating characteristic curve, calibration curve, Hosmer-Lemeshow test, and decision curve analysis all performed well in both the training and validation cohorts. CONCLUSIONS This study reported a 5.93% incidence of LWI and established a risk prediction model in patients undergoing THA for ONFH, supporting targeted screening and intervention to assist surgeons in assessing ambulation capacity and managing rehabilitation.

Spherical varus rotational osteotomy of the femur using a navigation system as extra-articular surgery for extensive osteonecrosis of femoral head: a case control study. J Orthop Surg Res 2024; 19:454. [PMID: 39085879 PMCID: PMC11290192 DOI: 10.1186/s13018-024-04951-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/15/2024] [Accepted: 07/26/2024] [Indexed: 08/02/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Curved varus osteotomy (CVO) is an effective femoral head-preserving surgical procedure for osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) classified as type B or C1 according to the Japanese Investigation Committee (JIC) classification; it reportedly provides better postoperative outcomes than transtrochanteric rotational osteotomy (TRO). We have developed a new procedure called spherical varus rotational osteotomy (SVRO) in which osteotomy of the femur into a spherical shape is followed by varus and anterior rotation using navigation to increase indications and improve postoperative outcomes. METHODS Nine joints of eight patients who underwent SVRO and could be followed up for > 1 year were included in the study. Disease types determined preoperatively according to the JIC classification were type C1 for four joints and type C2 for five joints. Preoperative disease JIC classification stages were 3a for eight joints and 1 for one joint. SVRO was performed using OrthoMap® 3D Navigation software, and the following variables were measured: surgery time, intraoperative blood loss, difference between preoperative and postoperative angles of anteversion, postoperative lower limb length discrepancy, and postoperative intact area occupancy. The Japanese Orthopaedic Association Hip Disease Evaluation Questionnaire (JHEQ) was used for clinical evaluation. Visual Analog Scale and JHEQ scores were evaluated preoperatively and at the final follow-up. RESULTS The measurement results were as follows: surgery time, 130 min; blood loss, 200 ml; angle of varus, 20°; angle of anterior rotation, 30°; preoperative angle of anteversion, 15°; postoperative angle of anteversion, 22°; lower limb shortening, 11 mm; preoperative intact area occupancy, 0%; and postoperative intact area occupancy, 74.2%. There were no cases of progression in the postoperative stages or re-collapse. CONCLUSION SVRO allows for the repositioning of the exterior and posterior intact areas, providing a broader intact region postoperatively. This technique is particularly beneficial for young patients with ONFH and extensive necrosis and is a less invasive alternative to TRO. This procedure has been shown to be effective in achieving favorable outcomes in patients with extensive necrosis who would have otherwise required rotational osteotomy, depending on the necrosis location. Further longitudinal studies are necessary to validate these findings and establish long-term benefits.

Surgical hip dislocation technique through the femoral head fovea fenestration and impaction bone grafting for the treatment of non-traumatic osteonecrosis of the femoral head: a retrospective study. J Orthop Surg Res 2024; 19:437. [PMID: 39061096 PMCID: PMC11282843 DOI: 10.1186/s13018-024-04901-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/05/2024] [Accepted: 07/05/2024] [Indexed: 07/28/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) often leads to the collapse of the femoral head, ultimately resulting in patients undergoing premature total hip arthroplasty (THA). The surgical hip dislocation (SHD) technique is a type of hip-preserving surgery aimed at delaying or avoiding THA. This study aims to evaluate the clinical efficacy of SHD techniques through femoral head fovea fenestration and impaction bone grafting for the treatment of non-traumatic ONFH. METHODS A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 39 patients (39 hips) with non-traumatic ONFH who underwent SHD for treatment from 2016 to 2017. The Harris hip score (HHS) and the minimum clinically important difference (MCID) are used to evaluate clinical outcomes, while radiographic evaluations are conducted using X-rays. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis defined clinical failure as further THA, and conducted univariate survival analysis and Cox regression analysis. Any complications were recorded. RESULTS All patients were followed up for 24-72 months, with an average of (60 ± 13.0) months. At the last follow-up, based on the HHS, 25 patients (64.1%) reported excellent and good clinical outcomes. 29 patients (74.3%) achieved MCID. Imaging evaluation of the postoperative femoral head status showed that 6 cases improved, 20 cases remained stable, and 13 cases showed progressed. Out of 39 hips, 12 hips had postoperative clinical failure, resulting in a clinical success rate of 69.2%. Association Research Circulation Osseous (ARCO) stage, China-Japan Friendship Hospital (CJFH) classification, and postoperative crutch-bearing time are risk factors for clinical failure. Postoperative crutch-bearing time of less than 3 months is an independent risk factor for clinical failure. After surgery, there was one case of sciatic nerve injury and one case of heterotopic ossification. There were no infections or non-union of the greater trochanter osteotomy. CONCLUSION The SHD technique through the femoral head fovea fenestration and impaction bone grafting provides a safe and effective method for treating non-traumatic ONFH, with good mid-term clinical outcomes. ARCO staging, CJFH classification, and postoperative crutch-bearing time are risk factors that affect clinical outcomes after surgery and lead to further THA. Insufficient postoperative crutch-bearing time is an independent risk factor for clinical failure.

Astaxanthin-mediated Nrf2 activation ameliorates glucocorticoid-induced oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction and impaired bone formation of glucocorticoid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head in rats. J Orthop Surg Res 2024; 19:294.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteonecrosis of the femoral head caused by glucocorticoids (GIONFH) is a significant issue resulting from prolonged or excessive clinical glucocorticoid use. Astaxanthin, an orange-red carotenoid present in marine organisms, has been the focus of this study to explore its impact and mechanism on osteoblast apoptosis induced by dexamethasone (Dex) and GIONFH. METHODS In this experiment, bioinformatic prediction, molecular docking and dynamics simulation, cytotoxicity assay, osteogenic differentiation, qRT-PCR analysis, terminal uridine nickend labeling (TUNEL) assay, determination of intracellular ROS, mitochondrial function assay, immunofluorescence, GIONFH rat model construction, micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) scans were performed. RESULTS Our research demonstrated that a low dose of astaxanthin was non-toxic to healthy osteoblasts and restored the osteogenic function of Dex-treated osteoblasts by reducing oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and apoptosis. Furthermore, astaxanthin rescued the dysfunction in poor bone quality, bone metabolism and angiogenesis of GIONFH rats. The mechanism behind this involves astaxanthin counteracting Dex-induced osteogenic damage by activating the Nrf2 pathway. CONCLUSION Astaxanthin shields osteoblasts from glucocorticoid-induced oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction via Nrf2 pathway activation, making it a potential therapeutic agent for GIONFH treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In this retrospective case investigation, we analysed the data of patients with osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) to reveal demographic and clinical diagnostic features of ONFH in three northeastern provinces of China and provide a reference for its prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. METHODS We collected data from patients in Beijing Orthopaedic Hospital of Liaoning, focusing on the aetiology and diagnosis of ONFH. Medical records and self-designed questionnaires were used to collect information for statistical analysis, including age, aetiology, reason for glucocorticoid use, hospital level at first visit, and diagnosis. RESULTS In total, 906 patients with complete medical records were included in the analysis. The mean patient age was 47.65 ± 12.12 years. The peak age distribution was in the 40s for men and the 50s for women. Among the total cohort, 72 patients (7.95%; 40 men and 32 women) had traumatic ONFH, 198 (21.85%; 131 men and 67 women) had steroid-induced ONFH, 230 (25.39%; 121 men and 109 women) had idiopathic ONFH, and 406 (44.81%; 397 men and 9 women) had alcohol-induced ONFH. Six hundred and twenty patients were diagnosed with ONFH at the first visit, while 286 patients were misdiagnosed, with a diagnosis rate of 68.43%. The diagnosis rate at the first visit in tertiary hospitals was 76.14%. The diagnosis rate at the first visit in second-class hospitals was 52.07%.ONFH was most likely to be misdiagnosed as lumbar disc herniation. CONCLUSIONS Most patients with ONFH in three northeastern provinces of China were middle-aged, male, and had alcohol-induced ONFH. The misdiagnosis rate of ONFH at the first visit was very high, especially for misdiagnosis of lumbar disc herniation, indicating that the diagnosis of ONFH requires further improvement.

Abstract
Hormonal necrosis of the femoral head is caused by long-term use of glucocorticoids and other causes of abnormal bone metabolism, lipid metabolism imbalance and blood microcirculation disorders in the femoral head, resulting in bone trabecular fracture, bone tissue necrosis collapse, and hip dysfunction. It is the most common type of non-traumatic necrosis of the femoral head, and its pathogenesis is complex, while impaired blood circulation is considered to be the key to its occurrence. There are a large number of microvessels in the femoral head, among which H-type vessels play a decisive role in the "angiogenesis and osteogenesis coupling", and thus have an important impact on the occurrence and development of femoral head necrosis. Glucocorticoids can cause blood flow injury of the femoral head mainly through coagulation dysfunction, endothelial dysfunction and impaired angiogenesis. Glucocorticoids may inhibit the formation of H-type vessels by reducing the expression of HIF-1α, PDGF-BB, VGEF and other factors, thus causing damage to the "angiogenesis-osteogenesis coupling" and reducing the ability of necrosis reconstruction and repair of the femoral head. Leads to the occurrence of hormonal femoral head necrosis. Therefore, this paper reviewed the progress in the study of the mechanism of hormone-induced femoral head necrosis based on microvascular blood flow at home and abroad, hoping to provide new ideas for the study of the mechanism of femoral head necrosis and provide references for clinical treatment of femoral head necrosis.

Abstract
Inflammatory reactions are involved in the development of steroid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head(ONFH). Studies have explored the therapeutic efficacy of inhibiting inflammatory reactions in steroid-induced ONFH and revealed that inhibiting inflammation may be a new strategy for preventing the development of steroid-induced ONFH. Exosomes derived from M2 macrophages(M2-Exos) display anti-inflammatory properties. This study aimed to examine the preventive effect of M2-Exos on early-stage steroid-induced ONFH and explore the underlying mechanisms involved. In vitro, we explored the effect of M2-Exos on the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells(BMMSCs). In vivo, we investigated the role of M2-Exos on inflammation, osteoclastogenesis, osteogenesis and angiogenesis in an early-stage rat model of steroid-induced ONFH. We found that M2-Exos promoted the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of BMMSCs. Additionally, M2-Exos effectively attenuated the osteonecrotic changes, inhibited the expression of proinflammatory mediators, promoted osteogenesis and angiogenesis, reduced osteoclastogenesis, and regulated the polarization of M1/M2 macrophages in steroid-induced ONFH. Taken together, our data suggest that M2-Exos are effective at preventing steroid-induced ONFH. These findings may be helpful for providing a potential strategy to prevent the development of steroid-induced ONFH.

COMPUTER METHODS AND PROGRAMS IN BIOMEDICINE 2024; 247:108059. [PMID: 38382305 DOI: 10.1016/j.cmpb.2024.108059] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/05/2023] [Revised: 01/20/2024] [Accepted: 02/02/2024] [Indexed: 02/23/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Core decompression surgery is an effective treatment method for patients with pre-collapse osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH). The treatment relies on accurately predrilling the wire into the necrotic lesion. However, the surgical planning of this drilling path remains unclear. This paper aims to develop a framework to automatically plan the drilling path and analyze its geometric parameters. METHODOLOGY The proposed system consists of two stages. The first stage is to detect the key points. Besides the entry point and target point for the drilling path, the center of the femoral head (FH) and the boundary points of the necrotic lesion are also detected for the subsequent geometric analysis. In the second stage, the geometric parameters of the drilling path are analyzed, including the size of the necrotic lesion, the length from the entry point to the target point, the relative location between the FH center and the necrosis center, and the angular range of the drilling path in the anterior-posterior (AP) direction and superior-inferior (SI) direction. RESULTS All of the drilling paths designed by the proposed system were considered successful, starting from the proximal subtrochanteric region, terminating at the center of the necrotic lesion, and remaining within the femoral neck. The relative coordinates of the centers of the femoral head and necrotic lesion were (-0.89,5.14,2.63) mm for the left femurs and (1.55,5.92,2.63) mm for the right femurs, on average. The angular range of the drilling path was 39.99±29.58 degrees in the SI direction and 46.18±40.73 degrees in the AP direction. CONCLUSION This study develops a framework that allows for automatic planning and geometric analysis of the drilling path in core decompression surgery. The target point of the drilling path primarily resides in the lateral-anterior-superior region relative to the femoral head center. Surgeons and researchers can benefit from our unified framework while still maintaining the flexibility to adapt to variations in surgical cases.

Abstract
Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is a elaborate hip disease characterized by collapse of femoral head and osteoarthritis. RNA N6-methyladenosine (m6A) plays a crucial role in a lot of biological processes within eukaryotic cells. However, the role of m6A in the regulation of ONFH remains unclear. In this study, we identified the m6A regulators in ONFH and performed subtype classification. We identified 7 significantly differentially expressed m6A regulators through the analysis of differences between ONFH and normal samples in the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. A random forest algorithm was employed to monitor these regulators to assess the risk of developing ONFH. We constructed a nomogram based on these 7 regulators. The decision curve analysis suggested that patients can benefit from the nomogram model. We classified the ONFH samples into two m6A models according to these 7 regulators through consensus clustering algorithm. After that, we evaluated those two m6A patterns using principal component analysis. We assessed the scores of those two m6A patterns and their relationship with immune infiltration. We observed a higher m6A score of type A than that of type B. Finally, we performed a cross-validation of crucial m6A regulatory factors in ONFH using external datasets and femoral head bone samples. In conclusion, we believed that the m6A pattern could provide a novel diagnostic strategy and offer new insights for molecularly targeted therapy of ONFH.

Abstract
BACKGROUND No large cohort study has evaluated the surgical outcomes of THA between different stages of ONFH patients. This study aimed to compare the surgical outcomes of ONFH patients who underwent THA in ARCO stage III versus IV, in terms of operative parameters, one-year hip function assessments and postoperative at least five-year complications, to inform optimized management of ONFH. METHOD From our prospectively collected database, 876 patients undergoing THA between October 2014 and April 2017 were analyzed and divided into ARCO stage III group (n = 383) and ARCO stage IV group(n = 493). Details of demographics, medical record information, adverse events and clinical scores of both groups were collected and compared. Proper univariate analysis was used for the analysis. RESULT There were no statistically significant differences in baseline characteristics between the two groups. Compared to ARCO stage IV patients, ARCO stage III patients showed a shorter operative time (p < 0.01), less bleeding (p < 0.01), fewer one-year readmissions (p = 0.026) and complications (p = 0.040), and significantly higher HHS (p < 0.01) one year after THA. In addition, ARCO stage IV patients seem more likely to suffer prosthesis dislocation (p = 0.031). CONCLUSION Although ARCO stage IV patients in the study cohorts appeared to suffer more one-year complications, no significant difference was observed at long-term follow-up. Enhanced clinical guidance on preventing early prosthesis dislocation may help improve the prognosis of final-stage ONFH patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The primary aim of the present study was to explore the potential correlation of serum / local CXCL13 expressions and disease severity in non-traumatic osteonecrosis of the femoral head (NT-ONFH). METHODS In total, NT-ONFH patients (n = 130) together with healthy controls (HCs, n = 130) were included in this investigation. Radiographic progression was evaluated based on the imaging criteria outlined in the ARCO classification system. To assess the diagnostic value of serum CXCL13 in relation to radiographic progression, Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was conducted. Serum CXCL13 levels were quantified utilizing ELISA in all participants. Furthermore, local protein/mRNA expressions of CXCL13 were examined employing immunohistochemistry, western blot, as well as RT-PCR techniques. Clinical severity was appraised using the visual analogue scale (VAS), Harris Hip Score (HHS), and Western Ontario as well as McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC). RESULTS The findings revealed a significant reduction in serum CXCL13 levels among NT-ONFH patients in contrast with HCs. Moreover, both mRNA and protein expressions of CXCL13 were markedly decreased in the necrotic area (NA) than the non-necrotic area (NNA) as well as the healthy femoral head tissues. Additionally, serum CXCL13 levels were substantially lower among patients classified as ARCO stage 4 than those at ARCO stage 3. The concentrations of CXCL13 in stage 3 patients were notably diminished relative to those at ARCO stage 2. Notably, serum CXCL13 levels demonstrated a negative association with ARCO grade. Furthermore, these levels were also inversely linked to VAS scores as well as WOMAC scores while displaying a positive association with HHS scores. The findings of ROC curve suggested that reduced serum CXCL13 levels could be an underlying indicator for ARCO stage. CONCLUSIONS The reduced levels of either serum CXCL13 or local CXCL13 were intricately linked to disease severity for patients with NT-ONFH.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The clinical potential of biologic augmentation in core decompression and bone grafting for femoral head necrosis is widely acknowledged, with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) being a frequently employed biologic adjunct. However, its clinical application is not standardized, and high-level evidence is lacking. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of core decompression and bone grafting combined with PRP for femur head necrosis. METHODS Several databases were systematically retrieved for randomized controlled trials comparing core decompression and bone grafting combined with or without PRP. A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted following the PRISMA 2020 and AMSTAR 2 guidelines. The study is registered with PROSPERO under the code CRD42022361007, and it is also listed in the research registry under the identification number reviewregistry1537. RESULTS Eleven studies with 642 participants (742 hips) were included. The pooled estimates revealed that when core decompression and bone grafting were combined with PRP, the Harris hip score (mean difference: 7.98; 95% CI: 5.77-10.20; P <0.001), visual analog scale (SMD: -0.68; 95% CI: -0.96 - -0.40; P <0.001) and the pain component of Harris hip score (SMD: 8.4; 95% CI: 4.12-12.68; P <0.001), and reduction of radiographic progression [risk ratio (RR): 0.40; 95% CI: 0.27-0.59; P <0.001] were superior to core decompression and bone grafting alone. Fewer patients with treatment failure (RR: 0.27; 95% CI: 0.14-0.52; P <0.001) and higher good-to-excellent results (RR: 1.48; 95% CI: 1.17-1.86; P <0.001) were observed in treatment groups than control groups. Meanwhile, the pooled analysis substantiated the superior safety profile of PRP (RR: 0.29; 95% CI: 0.11-0.77; P =0.01). CONCLUSIONS The combination of core decompression and bone grafting with PRP is superior to the approach without PRP, demonstrating enhanced effectiveness in terms of function, pain relief, and radiographic progression. Additionally, it results in lower rates of treatment failure and adverse events. However, further high-quality RCTs are needed to evaluate their effectiveness due to methodological and implementation limitations observed in the existing evidence.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There are many predictions about the progression of natural collapse course of osteonecrosis of the femoral head. Here, we aimed to combine the three classical prediction methods to explore the progression of the natural collapse course. METHODS This retrospective study included 127 patients admitted to our hospital from October 2016 to October 2017, in whom the femoral head had not collapsed. Logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the collapse risk factors, and Kaplan-Meier survival curves were used for femoral head survival analysis. The collapse rate of the femoral head was recorded within 5 years based on the matrix model. The specificity of the matrix model was analyzed using the receiver operating characteristic curve. RESULTS A total of 127 patients with a total of 202 hips were included in this study, and 98 hips collapsed during the follow-up period. Multivariate logistics regression analysis showed that the predictive ability of the matrix model was stronger than Association Research Circulation Osseous staging, Japanese Investigation Committee classification, and area (P < 0.05). Kaplan-Meier survival curve showed that the median survival time of femoral head in patients was 3 years. The result of the receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed that the area under the curve (AUC) of the matrix model had better predictive value (AUC = 0.771, log-rank test: P < 0.001). CONCLUSION We creatively combined the three classical prediction methods for evaluating the progression of the natural collapse course based on the matrix model and found that the higher the score of the matrix model, the higher the femoral head collapse rate. Specifically, the matrix model has a potential value in predicting femoral head collapse and guiding treatment selection.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study is aimed to delve into the crucial proteins associated with hormonal osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) and its intra-articular lesions through data-independent acquisition (DIA) proteomics and bioinformatics analysis. METHODS We randomly selected samples from eligible ONFH patients and collected samples from the necrotic area of the femoral head and load-bearing cartilage. The control group comprised specimens from the same location in patients with femoral neck fractures. With DIA proteomics, we quantitatively and qualitatively tested both groups and analyzed the differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) between groups. Additionally, we enriched the analysis of DEP functions using gene ontology terms and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathways and verified the key proteins in ONFH through Western blot. RESULTS Proteomics experiment uncovered 937 common DEPs (422 upregulated and 515 downregulated) between the two groups. These DEPs mainly participate in biological processes such as hidden attributes, catalytic activity, molecular function regulators, and structural molecule activity, and in pathways such as starch and sucrose metabolism, ECM-receptor interaction, PI3K-Akt signaling, complement and coagulation cascades, IL-17 signaling, phagosome, transcriptional misregulation in cancers, and focal adhesion. Through protein-protein interaction network target gene analysis and Western blot validation, we identified C3, MMP9, APOE, MPO, LCN2, ELANE, HPX, LTF, and THBS1 as key proteins in ONFH. CONCLUSIONS With DIA proteomics and bioinformatics analysis, this study reveals the molecular mechanisms of intra-articular lesions in ONFH. A correlation in the necrotic area and load-bearing cartilage of ONFH at ARCO stages IIIB-IV as well as potential key regulatory proteins was identified. These findings will help more deeply understand the pathogenesis of ONFH and may provide important clues for seeking more effective treatment strategies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is a common disabling disease in orthopedics. Blocking the progression of ONFH in the early stage is essential for avoiding total hip replacement. PURPOSES The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of invasive treatment on early-stage ONFH. METHODS According to the PRISMA guidelines, relevant English databases were searched in August 2022 to collect published research. Extract result indicators and conduct network meta-analysis using R software. RESULTS A total of 15 RCTs were included. All patients were diagnosed with early-stage ONFH. The surface under the cumulative ranking curve (SUCRA) showed that CD + BMMSC and CD + PRP were the most effective in improving HHS. The results of the league table showed that CD + BMMSC was superior to CD alone. Meanwhile, the SUCRA for FR showed that CD + BG + BMMSC was the most likely to be the most effective in reducing FR. The league table revealed that CD + BG, CD + BG + BMMSC, and CD + BMMSC were superior to CD alone, with statistically significant differences.

Evaluation of core decompression outcome in systemic lupus erythematosus with hip osteonecrosis: a retrospective cohort study. Adv Rheumatol 2024; 64:4. [PMID: 38167574 DOI: 10.1186/s42358-023-00345-9] [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: 07/04/2023] [Accepted: 12/15/2023] [Indexed: 01/05/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteonecrosis is a major cause of morbidity for patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Although core decompression is an approved and trusted technique to prevent further joint deterioration, this surgical method seems to be less beneficial for SLE patients. We aimed to evaluate the outcomes of core decompression in SLE patients with primary stages of femoral head osteonecrosis. METHODS In this study, 23 patients (39 affected hip joints) with osteonecrosis of the femoral head with stage II of the disease, based on the Ficat-Arlet classification system, underwent core decompression. Also, patients demographic characteristics, clinical data, medication history, comorbidities, immunological findings, hip plain radiographs, history of total hip arthroplasty after core decompression, and patients satisfaction with joint function according to the Oxford hip score questionnaire were obtained. RESULTS In the study, 53.8% of affected joints showed signs of radiographic deterioration in follow-up imaging. Sixty-one and a half percent (61.5%) of patients had unsatisfactory joint performance. A third (33.3%) of affected hip joints underwent total hip arthroplasty up to 5 years from core decompression. SLE patients with a history of receiving bisphosphonate were 83.2% less dissatisfied with their joint function than patients without a history of bisphosphonate use (P < 0.02). Of the 23 studied cases, the mean cumulative dose of prednisolone before and after core decompression surgery was 46.41 mg and 14.74 mg respectively. Besides, one case (2.6%) that had a high anti-phospholipid antibodies level during follow-up did not have any radiographic deterioration, and 9 cases (23.1%) had some degrees of radiographic deterioration. CONCLUSIONS The patients group that used bis-phosphonate, had a higher level of satisfaction with joint function after core decompression. Patients with high-level anti-phospholipid antibodies are related to a poor prognosis after core decompression.

J Orthop Surg Res 2023; 18:970. [PMID: 38104164 PMCID: PMC10725608 DOI: 10.1186/s13018-023-04428-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/22/2023] [Accepted: 11/29/2023] [Indexed: 12/19/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to examine whether diabetes mellitus is causally associated with osteonecrosis. METHOD Using publicly accessible genome-wide association study statistics, a bidirectional two-sample Mendelian randomization analysis was carried out. In order to determine whether diabetes has a causal effect on osteonecrosis and whether osteonecrosis has a causal effect on diabetes, we extracted six date on diabetes in Europeans from IEU OpenGWAS and GWAS Catalogue and osteonecrosis in Europeans from FinnGen. We then evaluated the data using inverse variance weighting, MR-Egger regression, weighted median, weighted mode, and simple mode. The results' stability and dependability were then evaluated using sensitivity analysis and heterogeneity analysis. Finally, meta-analysis is used to further confirm if there is a relationship between diabetes and osteonecrosis. RESULTS When diabetes was used as an exposure factor, MR-Egger regression showed that directional fold product was unlikely to bias the results. Cochran's Q test showed only minor heterogeneity in a few data sets. Multidirectional tests Egger-intercept, MR-PRESSO and funnel plots for most data did not show multidirectional and asymmetry at the gene level. Most of the IVW results showed no causal relationship between diabetes mellitus and osteonecrosis. The results of meta-analysis of IVW methods further confirmed the absence of a causal relationship. Inverse MR analysis also showed no causal relationship between osteonecrosis and diabetes. CONCLUSION Results of bidirectional MR analysis show no evidence of causal relationship between diabetes and osteonecrosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite several surgical options, there remains no consensus regarding the optimal approach for osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH), a prevalent and refractory disease. To determine the most suitable treatment modality, we compared randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that evaluated multiple surgical treatments for ONFH using a Bayesian network meta-analysis (NMA). METHODS The outcomes of 11 different surgical treatments were assessed using NMA comparisons of the rate of progression of femoral head necrosis, the rate of conversion to total hip arthroplasty, and improvement of the Harris hip score (HHS). A random effects model was used to analyze the odds ratio (OR) or mean difference, and risk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane risk of bias assessment tool for randomized trials. The confidence of the results was assessed using the confidence in network meta-analysis tool. RESULTS A total of 18 RCTs were included in the meta-analysis. Compared with core decompression (CD), the forest plot showed that autologous bone grafting (ABG), free fibula grafting (FFG), vascularized bone grafting (VBG), autologous bone grafting combined with bone marrow aspirate concentrate (ABG + BMAC), and biomaterial grafting combined with vascularized bone grafting (BMG + VBG) delayed ONFH progression. Among them, ABG + BMAC showed the most promising results (OR 0.019; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.0012-0.25). However, upon comparing CD with different surgical modalities, no significant differences were found in preventing total hip arthroplasty. Furthermore, we cannot draw conclusions regarding the HHS due to attribution and high heterogeneity across the studies. CONCLUSION Overall, ABG, VBG, FFG, ABG + BMAC, and BMG + VBG showed significant results in preventing ONFH progression compared with that shown by CD. Based on the surface under the cumulative ranking, ABG + BMAC was the most effective. Moreover, all treatments involving bone grafting were found to be effective, possibly indicating the necessity of its use in the treatment of ONFH.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is a serious condition that causes bone tissue death, femoral head collapse, and hip joint destruction. Early intervention through hip-preserving treatment is crucial to slow down disease progression, preserve hip joint function, and improve the quality of life of patients. We analyzed the knowledge map, research gaps, and future research directions in the field of hip-preserving treatment for early ONFH. METHODS All publications related to hip-preserving treatment for early ONFH published between 2010 and 2023 were identified from the Web of Science Core Collection and analyzed using VOSviewer 1.6.19, CiteSpace 6.2.R2, and Scimago Graphica 1.0.35. RESULTS In total, 234 articles were analyzed. The results showed an exponential growth trend in the number of publications related to hip-preserving treatment for early ONFH in the past decade. China and the USA were the main contributors. International Orthopaedics published the most papers in this field, whereas Bone and Joint Surgery-American Volume had the highest average citation count per article. Several stable research topics were noted in this field, including core decompression (CD), osteotomy, bone transplantation in hip-preserving surgery, and cell therapy, which have become research hotspots in hip-preserving treatment. CONCLUSIONS Hip-preserving treatment for early ONFH has received increasing attention, and research in this field is expected to grow. Stable research topics include core decompression (CD), osteotomy, bone transplantation, and cell therapy. Future research is predicted to focus on cell therapy and combination therapy, resulting in an increasing number of publications on hip-preserving treatment for early ONFH.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Bone microvascular endothelial cells (BMECs) played an important role in the pathogenesis of glucocorticoid-induced osteonecrosis of femoral head (GCS-ONFH), and exosomes derived from bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSC-Exos) may provide an effective treatment. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of BMSC-Exos and internal microRNA-210-3p (miRNA-210) on GCS-ONFH in an in vitro hydrocortisone-induced BMECs injury model and an in vivo rat GCS-ONFH model. METHODS BMECs, BMSCs and BMSC-Exos were isolated and validated. BMECs after the treatment of hydrocortisone were cocultured with different concentrations of BMSC-Exos, then proliferation, migration, apoptosis and angiogenesis of BMECs were evaluated by CCK-8, Annexin V-FITC/PI, cell scratch and tube formation assays. BMSCs were transfected with miRNA-210 mimics and miRNA-210 inhibitors, then BMSC-ExosmiRNA-210 mimic and BMSC-ExosmiRNA-210 inhibitor secreted from such cells were collected. The differences between BMSC-Exos, BMSC-ExosmiRNA-210 mimic and BMSC-ExosmiRNA-210 inhibitor in protecting BMECs against GCS treatment were analyzed by methods mentioned above. Intramuscular injections of methylprednisolone were performed on Sprague-Dawley rats to establish an animal model of GCS-ONFH, then tail intravenous injections of BMSC-Exos, BMSC-ExosmiRNA-210 mimic or BMSC-ExosmiRNA-210 inhibitor were conducted after methylprednisolone injection. Histological and immunofluorescence staining and micro-CT were performed to evaluate the effects of BMSC-Exos and internal miRNA-210 on the in vivo GCS-ONFH model. RESULTS Different concentrations of BMSC-Exos, especially high concentration of BMSC-Exos, could enhance the proliferation, migration and angiogenesis ability and reduce the apoptosis rates of BMECs treated with GCS. Compared with BMSC-Exos, BMSC-ExosmiRNA-210 mimic could further enhance the proliferation, migration and angiogenesis ability and reduce the apoptosis rates of BMECs, while BMECs in the GCS + BMSC-ExosmiRNA-210 inhibitor group showed reduced proliferation, migration and angiogenesis ability and higher apoptosis rates. In the rat GCS-ONFH model, BMSC-Exos, especially BMSC-ExosmiRNA-210 mimic, could increase microvascular density and enhance bone remodeling of femoral heads. CONCLUSIONS BMSC-Exos containing miRNA-210 could serve as potential therapeutics for protecting BMECs and ameliorating the progression of GCS-ONFH.

Abstract
This study aimed to describe a surgical procedure for the management of corticosteroid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) and report its clinical results. The technique included harvesting a bone plug from the lateral femoral neck, core decompression, and bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) application; the procedure was completed by press-fit insertion of the autologous bone plug in the debrided area. Autologous bone plug-sliding with core decompression and bone marrow concentrate aspirate application provides good clinical outcomes in the management of ONFH. A retrospective review was performed using records of patients operated on between October 2019 and June 2021. Only patients with Ficat-Arlet stage-2 ONFH, who underwent the procedure described, were included. Twenty- nine hips (18 patients) were included and evaluated clinically and radiologically. Clinical evaluation included the Harris hip score (HHS) and Visual analogue scale (VAS) for pain, while radiological evaluation included direct radiographs. The average age was 39.8 years (± 11.7, range: 24-65 years). The average follow-up was 13.5 months (± 3.4, range: 8-19 months). There were improvements in the VAS pain and Harris hip scores in all patients. Average HHS increased from 61.90 to 87.45 (p < 0.001), while the average VAS pain score decreased from 7.14 to 3.27 (p < 0.001). No complications were encountered in any of the patients during the follow-up. None of the patients had femoral head collapse on the latest radiograph or required total hip replacement. The combination of the novel autologous bone plug-sliding method with conventional regenerative methods is a successful treatment choice for ONFH.

[PMID: 37990216 PMCID: PMC10661564 DOI: 10.1186/s12891-023-07039-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/11/2023] [Accepted: 11/12/2023] [Indexed: 11/23/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the efficacy of treating patients with HIV-positive osteonecrosis of the femoral head using drilled decompression autologous bone marrow and allogeneic bone grafting. METHODS 40 patients (44 hips) with early osteonecrosis of the femoral head treated by drilling decompression autologous bone marrow and allogeneic bone grafting since October 2015 were retrospectively analyzed, among which 20 patients (24 hips) were HIV-positive patients with early osteonecrosis of the femoral head, 16 males and 4 females, age 22-43 years, average 39.6 ± 10.18 years, and 20 patients (20 hips) in the same period HIV-negative early osteonecrosis of the femoral head patients, 13 males and 7 females, aged 48-78 years, mean 63.50 ± 7.94 years were negative controls. General information including ARCO stage, Harris score, VAS score, hematological indexes including CD4+ T lymphocyte count, and HIV viral load was recorded for all patients before surgery. All patients were operated on by drilling and decompression of the necrotic area, harvesting autologous iliac bone marrow with allogeneic bone, and bone grafting through the decompression channel. The patients were followed up regularly at 6, 12, and 24 months after surgery and annually thereafter, and the repair of the necrotic femoral head was observed by reviewing the frontal and lateral X-ray, CT or MRI of the hip joint, and the complications and functional recovery of the hip joint was counted and compared between the two groups. RESULTS All patients were followed up, and the ARCO stages in the HIV-positive group were stage I 2 hips, stage IIA 6 hips, stage IIB 8 hips, stage IIC 6 hips, and stage III 2 hips, with a follow-up time of 12 to 60 months and a mean of 24.6 months. In the negative control group, there were 3 hips in ARCO stage I, 7 hips in stage IIA, 5 hips in stage IIB, 3 hips in stage IIC, and 2 hips in stage III, and the follow-up time ranged from 13 to 62 months, with an average of 24.8 months. The Harris score and VAS score of the hip in both groups improved significantly at 6 months postoperatively compared with those before surgery (P < 0.001). The difference between the Harris score of the hip in the positive group at 24 months postoperatively compared with that at 6 months postoperatively was statistically significant, but the VAS score at 24 months postoperatively compared with that at 6 months postoperatively was not statistically significant. In the negative group, there was no statistically significant difference in the Harris score and VAS score of the hip at 24 months postoperatively compared with those at 6 months postoperatively. In the positive group, there was a trend of continuous increase in hip BMD from the beginning of the postoperative period (P < 0.001). There was no statistically significant difference between the negative group and the positive group at the 24 months postoperatively follow-up except for the Harris score, which was statistically significant (P < 0.001), and the VAS score, which was statistically insignificant. At the 24 months postoperatively follow-up, patients in both groups had good recovery of hip function, and no complications such as vascular and nerve injury and fracture occurred during the perioperative period and follow-up period, and no complications related to incisional infection and pulmonary infection occurred during hospitalization. CONCLUSION The treatment of early HIV-positive osteonecrosis of the femoral head patients with autologous bone marrow and allogeneic bone grafting by drilling and decompression to remove the tissue in the necrotic area of the femoral head can effectively stop the process of osteonecrosis of the femoral head and promoting femoral head repair in HIV-positive patients is a safe and effective method for treating HIV-positive patients with early osteonecrosis of the femoral head, and can effectively delay or postpone total hip replacement in patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is a common, refractory and disabling disease of orthopedic department, which is one of the common causes of hip pain and dysfunction. Recent studies have shown that much progress has been made in the research of programmed cell death (PCD) in ONFH. However, there is no bibliometric analysis in this research field. This study aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the knowledge structure and research hot spots of PCD in ONFH through bibliometrics. METHOD The literature search related to ONFH and PCD was conducted on the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) database from 2002 to 2021. The VOSviewers, "bibliometrix" R package and CiteSpace were used to conduct this bibliometric analysis. RESULTS In total, 346 articles from 27 countries led by China and USA and Japan were included. The number of publications related to PCD in ONFH is increasing year by year. Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Xi An Jiao Tong University, Wuhan University and Huazhong University of Science and Technology are the main research institutions.

[PMID: 37853426 PMCID: PMC10585778 DOI: 10.1186/s13018-023-04283-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/24/2023] [Accepted: 10/11/2023] [Indexed: 10/20/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This aimed to evaluate the status of return to work (RTW) in patients with osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) after total hip arthroplasty (THA). METHODS The baseline characteristics of all patients in this retrospective study were obtained from the hospital patient database. The relevant changes in patients' working conditions, as well as the numerical rating scale (NRS), Harris Hip Score (HHS), self-assessment of work ability, and Likert scale satisfaction assessment were obtained through video call follow-ups. RESULTS 118 patients (response rate: 83%) were ultimately included in this study. The average length of time for the patients to stop working preoperatively was 20.7 weeks. Ninety-four patients (24 women and 70 men) who underwent THA had RTW status, with a mean RTW time of 21.0 weeks. Men had a significantly higher proportion of final RTW and a significantly faster RTW than women. Significant differences in smoking, drinking, cardiovascular diseases, changes in working levels, variations in the types of physical work, changes in working hours, and pain symptoms were observed between the RTW and Non-RTW populations. The patients with a positive RTW status had higher postoperative HHS scores, lower postoperative NRS scores, and higher self-assessment of work ability than patients who had a negative RTW status. CONCLUSION Ultimately, 80% of patients achieved RTW status. Drinking, sex, change in working level, variation in the type of physical work, change in working hours, post-surgery HHS score and self-assessment of work ability can serve as predictive factors for RTW.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteonecrosis of the femoral head is a degenerative condition linked to corticosteroids, alcoholism, or trauma. With its rising prevalence due to increased hormone drug use and its debilitating effects on young to middle-aged individuals, understanding its association with specific laboratory indicators can aid early diagnosis and prevention. METHODS Upon retrospective analysis of the clinical data pertaining to individuals diagnosed with femoral head necrosis, spanning from January 2016 to January 2022, a comprehensive evaluation was conducted within the same time frame. The study aimed to ascertain the presence of femoral head necrosis in a total of 1176 individuals. A total of 1036 healthy patients were recruited randomly, ensuring that their ages matched. The risk variables associated with the utilization of logistic regression analysis and analysis techniques are employed. The patient examines the age distribution within a specific age group. RESULTS The levels of high-density lipoprotein, low-density lipoprotein A1, lipoprotein B1, total protein, albumin, globulin, and other lipophilic metabolism and coagulation markers exhibited a statistically significant increase compared to the control group. A multifactor logistic regression analysis was conducted to identify potential risk factors associated with femoral head necrosis in patients. CONCLUSION Femoral head necrosis is associated with a range of variables including coagulation malfunction, lipid metabolic abnormalities, and inflammation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is becoming a prevalent global health problem. 4-Hydroxynonenal (4-HNE) serves as a common marker of oxidative stress. This study aims to study the potential role of 4-HNE in the progression of steroid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head (SIONFH). METHOD Between April 2021 and December 2021, 64 subjects were enrolled in this cross-sectional case‒control study. Thirty-six patients were grouped based on the Association Research Circulation Osseous (ARCO) classification, and 28 healthy volunteers without hip pain or any lesions shown in anteroposterior and frog-leg lateral pelvic radiographs served as the normal control group. Bone hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining, microcomputed tomography (micro-CT), immunohistochemistry, and levels of plasma 4-HNE were evaluated. RESULTS The 4-HNE level was higher in the SIONFH group than in the normal control group (P < 0.001), and 4-HNE levels were significantly higher in SIONFH patients in the early stage of disease (stage II). The 4-HNE level was negatively correlated with ARCO stage (r = - 0.6875, P < 0.001). Immunohistochemistry revealed the presence of 4-HNE in the trabecular bone, osteocytes, and bone marrow. CONCLUSION The 4-HNE level is negatively associated with ARCO stages. Lower levels of 4-HNE may serve as a critical biomarker for the progression of SIONFH.

J Orthop Surg Res 2023; 18:693. [PMID: 37716998 PMCID: PMC10504695 DOI: 10.1186/s13018-023-04185-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/09/2023] [Accepted: 09/10/2023] [Indexed: 09/18/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study was aimed to use a digital design of 3D-printing technology to create a surgical navigation template. At the same time, biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) was applied to treat osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) in animal models, based on accurate positioning of necrotic lesions in the navigation templates and observation of its therapeutic effect. METHODS Fifteen healthy adult male and female beagle dogs weighing 20 + 2 kg were randomly divided into three groups (n = 5) after establishing a model of ONFH using the liquid nitrogen freezing method. Each model underwent necrotic lesion creation and BPC implantations on one side of the femoral head and only necrotic lesion creation on the other side of the femoral head. Each group underwent CT examination, gross observation, histological examination and immunohistochemical staining at 6 weeks, 12 weeks and 18 weeks postoperatively. RESULTS At weeks 6, 12, and 18, CT and gross examination showed that the necrotic area in the experimental group was basically intact and had been completely raised by BCP material. In the control group, there were signs of bone repair in the femoral head, but there were still large bone defects and cavities. At week 18, extensive collapse of the cartilage surface was observed. Through histological examination, in the experimental group at 12 and 18 weeks, a large number of new and reconstructed bone trabeculae containing a large amount of collagen fibres were observed (P < 0.05), while in the control group, there was extensive necrosis of the bone trabeculae without cellular structural areas. Immunohistochemical examination observation: A large number of CD31-positive cells were observed in the experimental group at 6 weeks, gradually decreasing at 12 and 18 weeks (P < 0.05), while a small number of CD31-positive cells were observed in the control group at 18 weeks. CONCLUSION The 3D-printed navigation template can accurately locate ONFH lesions. Implantation of BCP material can effectively play a supporting role, prevent the collapse of the loading surface, and induce bone formation and angiogenesis to some extent.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hip joint-preserving treatment options for osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) have been a research hotspot in recent years. The combination of Chinese and Western medicine has been used in clinical practice to treat early- and mid-stage ONFH. However, there is still a lack of high-quality evidence to verify the effectiveness and safety of this approach. OBJECTIVE To systematically evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of the combination of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) with Western medicine in the treatment of early- and mid-stage ONFH. METHODS Multiple electronic databases were searched to identify the randomized controlled trials (RCTs) examining the use of TCM in the treatment of ONFH. Based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria, eligible studies were selected, and the quality of the studies was evaluated using the risk of bias assessment tool recommended by the Cochrane system Evaluator manual 5.1.0. The meta-analysis of the included data was performed using Review Manager 5.4.1 software and Stata 17.0 software. RESULTS A total of 47 RCTs involving 3266 subjects were included in the meta-analysis. The results are observed: (1) Harris score: TCM + Western medicine versus Western medicine (SMD = 1.25, 95% Cl: 1.02 to 1.48, P < 0.00001), TCM + physiotherapy versus physiotherapy (SMD = 2.26, 95% Cl: 1.42 to 3.10, P < 0.00001), and TCM + hip preservation surgery versus hip preservation surgery (SMD = 1.28, 95% Cl: 1.03 to 1.53, P < 0.00001); (2) Visual analogue scale score: TCM + Western medicine versus Western medicine (SMD = -3.99, 95% Cl: -7.41 to -0.57, P = 0.02), TCM + physiotherapy versus physiotherapy (SMD = -0.99, 95% Cl: -1.44 to -0.54, P < 0.0001), and TCM + hip preservation surgery versus hip preservation surgery (SMD = -1.08, 95% Cl: -1.75 to -0.40, P = 0.002); (3) Imaging improvement: TCM + physiotherapy versus physiotherapy (RR = 1.42, 95% Cl: 1.15 to 1.76, P = 0.001) and TCM + hip preservation surgery versus hip preservation surgery (RR = 1.21, 95% Cl: 1.11 to 1.31, P < 0.0001); and (4) Occurrence of adverse reaction: TCM + Western medicine versus Western medicine (RR = 0.73, 95% Cl: 0.28 to 1.92, P = 0.53), TCM + physiotherapy versus physiotherapy (RR = 0.46, 95% Cl: 0.03 to 7.33, P = 0.58), and TCM + hip preservation surgery versus hip preservation surgery (RR = 1.11, 95% Cl: 0.36 to 3.45, P = 0.86). CONCLUSION TCM combined with Western medicine is an effective and safe approach for the treatment of ONFH. However, due to the low quality and quantity of the included studies, additional large-scale, high-quality studies are required to verify the above conclusions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is a prevalent orthopedic condition characterized by the disruption of blood supply to the femoral head, leading to ischemia of internal tissues, subchondral bone fractures, necrosis, and eventual collapse of the weight-bearing portion of the femoral head. This condition results in severe functional impairment, pain, and even disability of the hip joint. Existing animal models of ONFH have limitations in replicating the natural disease progression accurately. Thus, there is a critical need to develop a novel animal model capable of better simulating localized pressure on the human femoral head to facilitate ONFH-related research. METHODS In this study, we present a novel approach for modeling ONFH, which involves integrating stress factors into the modeling process through the utilization of 3D printing technology and principles of biomechanics. A total of 36 animals were randomly assigned to six groups, where they received either the novel modeling technique or the traditional hormone induction method. Subsequently, an 8-week treatment period was implemented, followed by conducting micro-CT scans and histological evaluations to assess tissue outcomes. RESULTS The study evaluated the cytotoxicity of the material used in the new model, and it was observed that the material did not exhibit any cytotoxic effects on cells. Additionally, the novel model successfully replicated the pathological features of ONFH, including femoral head collapse, along with a substantial presence of empty bone lacunae, cartilage defects, and subchondral bone fractures in the subchondral bone region. CONCLUSION In conclusion, our study provides evidence that the new model shows the ability to simulate the progression of the disease, making it a valuable tool for research in this field and can contribute to the development of better treatment strategies for this debilitating condition. It holds great promise for advancing our understanding of the pathogenesis of ONFH and the potential therapeutic interventions for this challenging clinical problem.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Accumulated clinical trials had been focused on stem cell therapy in combination of core decompression (CD) in the treatment of avascular necrosis of the femoral head (ANFH). Nonetheless, the results were inconclusive. Here, we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of previous randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and retrospective studies to assess whether combined stem cell augmentation with CD improved the outcomes of ANFH compared with CD alone. METHODS The current study included 11 RCTs and 7 retrospective studies reporting the clinical outcomes of a total of 916 patients and 1257 hips. 557 and 700 hips received CD and CD plus stem cell therapy, respectively. To compare CD with CD plus stem cell therapy, we examined the clinical evaluating scores, the occurrence of the femoral head, radiologic progression and conversion to total hip arthroplasty (THA). RESULTS Only 10 studies reported significantly greater improvement in hip functions while combining stem cell procedure with CD. The pooled results in subgroup analysis indicated that stem cell group had a lower collapse rate on a mid-term basis (P = 0.001), when combined with mechanical support (P < 0.00001), and with extracted stem cells (P = 0.0002). Likewise, stem cell group had a lower radiographic progression rate at 2- to 5-year follow-up [P = 0.003], when combined with structural grafting (P < 0.00001), and with extracted stem cells (P = 0.004). Stem cell therapy resulted in an overall lower THA conversion rate (P < 0.0001) except that at a follow-up longer than 5 years. CONCLUSION Stem cell therapy combined with core decompression was more effective in preventing collapse, radiographic progression and conversion to THA. Trial Registration The current protocol has been registered in PROSPERO with the registration number: CRD42023417248.

Biodegradable magnesium screw, titanium screw and direct embedding fixation in pedicled vascularized iliac bone graft transfer for osteonecrosis of the femoral head: a randomized controlled study. J Orthop Surg Res 2023; 18:523. [PMID: 37481538 PMCID: PMC10363316 DOI: 10.1186/s13018-023-04012-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/05/2023] [Accepted: 07/14/2023] [Indexed: 07/24/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The use of degradable magnesium screws to fix the bone flap implanted in the treatment of femoral head necrosis has achieved preliminary good therapeutic results. However, there is no conclusive evidence in the study to demonstrate whether biodegradable magnesium screws promote angiogenesis and no comparison has been made between degradable magnesium screws and traditional screws. OBJECTIVE To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of biodegradable magnesium screws in pedicled vascularized iliac bone graft transfer (PVIBGT) for osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH). MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of thirty-six patients (37 hips) with ONFH were recruited from March 2020 to July 2022. The study used a single-blind method, and patients who underwent PVIBGT were randomized into three groups: 12 patients (12 hips) were fixed with biodegradable magnesium screws (Group A), 12 patients (13 hips) were fixed with titanium screws (Group B), 12 patients (12 hips) were directly embedded (Group C). The operating time and the length of stay were recorded. Harris scores, radiological examinations (X-ray, CT, DCE-MRI), blood and serum tests were conducted before and after surgery. The gas yield and degradation rates of the magnesium screws were measured at the 3-months and 6-months post-operative follow-ups in Group A. RESULTS There was no statistically significant difference among these three groups in terms of types, gender, age, course of disease, surgical side, operation time, the length of stay (P > 0.05). All patients were followed up for 6 months. The mean Harris scores were higher in all groups 6 months after surgery (P < 0.05). The rates of excellent and good outcomes were 66.7%, 46.2%, and 33.3% in Groups A, B, and C, respectively. PVIBGT and magnesium screws can improve the blood supply of the femoral head via DCE-MRI evaluation. Two patients with poor incision healing received prompt treatment and subsequently recovered well. No adverse events, such as hip infection or deep vein thrombosis, were reported in the patients. The patients had good biocompatibility of magnesium screws, and no fracture of the magnesium screws was observed in Group A. Liver and kidney functions (including serum magnesium) were within normal ranges. The area of the intermuscular air space was 0 cm2 in follow-ups. The degradation rate of the biodegradable magnesium screws was approximately 10.32% at the 3-months follow-up and 13.72% at the 6-months follow-up. CONCLUSIONS PVIBGT has a positive effect, especially with regard to improving blood supply of the femoral head. The fixation of biodegradable magnesium screws is reliable and safe in PVIBGT, and promote angiogenesis.

[PMID: 36453529 PMCID: PMC10232679 DOI: 10.1002/jor.25496] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/18/2022] [Revised: 11/21/2022] [Accepted: 11/28/2022] [Indexed: 12/04/2022]
Abstract
Avascular necrosis (AVN) involves ischemic cell death of the bone. AVN leaves an abundance of necrotic lipids and debris in the bone marrow, which instigates inflammatory bone repair. Consequently, the necrotic bone microenvironment stimulates excessive bone resorption, leading to joint deformities and osteoarthritis. Here, we performed a detergent-assisted bone wash using poloxamer 407 (P407) to clean the necrotic bone environment by removing lipids and necrotic debris. The new concept was tested using an established ex vivo AVN model of porcine cadaver humeral heads. The P407 wash was performed using P407 solution and followed with saline via two intraosseous needles. Visual inspection and image analyses of average pixel light intensity showed that the P407 wash produced a better-cleaned bone than the saline wash. Analyses of the collected bone wash solution showed a two-fold increase in triglycerides (101 vs. 53 mmol/head, p = 0.006) and a 10-fold increase in the dry weight of the removed debris (1.34 vs. 0.13 g/head, p = 0.02) with the P407 wash compared to saline. The histological evaluation showed significantly decreased Oil-Red-O (fats) staining in the P407-washed bone compared with the saline-washed bone. The in vitro assays of Alizarin red and qPCR showed the P407 wash neither altered the osteogenic behaviors of porcine bone marrow-derived mesenchymal cells (pBMMCs) nor raised inflammatory responses of porcine bone marrow-derived macrophages (pBMMs). In conclusion, detergent-assisted bone wash using P407 produced a better removal of nonsoluble debris from the bone marrow space than the saline wash without causing changes to osteogenesis or inflammatory reactions.

J Orthop Surg Res 2023; 18:474. [PMID: 37391758 DOI: 10.1186/s13018-023-03934-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/18/2023] [Accepted: 06/16/2023] [Indexed: 07/02/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The impaired blood supply to the bones is an important pathological feature of steroid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head (SIONFH). Danshen is a Chinese herb that shows therapeutic effects on SIONFH, but the effects of one of its major bioactive constituents, Tanshinone I (TsI), on SIONFH remain unknown. Here, we evaluated the effects of TsI on SIONFH, particularly focusing on its effects on angiogenesis, in in vivo and in vitro research. METHODS SIONFH was induced in Sprague-Dawley rats by an intramuscular injection of methylprednisolone (40 mg/kg) in combination with an intraperitoneal injection of lipopolysaccharide (20 μg/kg). Morphological alterations of the femoral head were observed by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry and HE staining. Western blot, qRT-PCR, and immunohistochemical/immunofluorescence staining were used to determine gene expression. RESULTS TsI (10 mg/kg) alleviated bone loss and rescued the expression of angiogenesis-related molecules (CD31, VWF, VEGF, and VEGFR2) in the femoral heads of SIONFH rats. Notably, TsI rescued the down-regulated expression of SRY-box transcription factor 11 (SOX11) in CD31+ endothelial cells in the femoral heads of SIONFH rats. In vitro studies showed that TsI preserved the dexamethasone-harmed angiogenic property (migration and tube formation) of human umbilical vein cells (EA.hy926), suppressed dexamethasone-induced cell apoptosis, reduced pro-apoptotic proteins (cytosolic cytochrome C, Bax, and caspase 3/9) and increased anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2, whereas silencing of SOX11 reversed these beneficial effects. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrates that TsI alleviates SIONFH and promotes angiogenesis by regulating SOX11 expression. Our work would provide new evidence for the application of TsI to treat SIONFH.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Femoral neck fracture (FNF) is a very common traumatic disorder and a major cause of blood supply disruption to the femoral head, which may lead to a severe long-term complication, osteonecrosis of femoral head (ONFH). Early prediction and evaluation of ONFH after FNF could facilitate early treatment and may prevent or reverse the development of ONFH. In this review paper, we will review all the prediction methods reported in the previous literature. METHODS Studies on the prediction of ONFH after FNF were included in PubMed and MEDLINE databases with articles published before October 2022. Further screening criteria were conducted according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses. This study highlights all the advantages and disadvantages of the prediction methods. RESULTS There were a total of 36 studies included, involving 11 methods to predict ONFH after FNF. Among radiographic imaging, superselective angiography could directly visualize the blood supply of the femoral head, but it is an invasive examination. As noninvasive detection methods, dynamic enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and SPECT/CT are easy to operate, have a high sensitivity, and increase specificity. Though still at the early stage of development in clinical studies, micro-CT is a method of highly accurate quantification that can visualize femoral head intraosseous arteries. The prediction model relates to artificial intelligence and is easy to operate, but there is no consensus on the risk factors of ONFH. For the intraoperative methods, most of them are single studies and lack clinical evidence. CONCLUSION After reviewing all the prediction methods, we recommend using dynamic enhanced MRI or single photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography in combination with the intraoperative observation of bleeding from the holes of proximal cannulated screws to predict ONFH after FNF. Moreover, micro-CT is a promising imaging technique in clinical practice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study was aimed to identify key ferroptosis-related biomarkers in steroid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head (SONFH) based on machine learning algorithm. METHODS The SONFH dataset GSE123568 (including 30 SONFH patients and 10 controls) was used in this study. The differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were selected between SONFH and control groups, which were subjected to WGCNA. Ferroptosis-related genes were downloaded from FerrDb V2, which were then compared with DEGs and module genes. Two machine learning algorithms were utilized to identify key ferroptosis-related genes, and the underlying mechanisms were analyzed by GSEA. Correlation analysis between key ferroptosis-related genes and immune cells was analyzed by Spearman method. The drug-gene relationships were predicted in CTD. RESULTS Total 2030 DEGs were obtained. WGCNA identified two key modules and obtained 1561 module genes. Finally, 43 intersection genes were identified as disease-related ferroptosis-related genes. After LASSO regression and RFE-SVM algorithms, 4 intersection genes (AKT1S1, BACH1, MGST1 and SETD1B) were considered as key ferroptosis-related gene. The 4 genes were correlated with osteoclast differentiation pathway. Twenty immune cells with significant differences were obtained between the groups, and the 4 key ferroptosis-related genes were correlated with most immune cells. In CTD, 41 drug-gene relationship pairs were finally obtained. CONCLUSIONS The 4 key ferroptosis-related genes, AKT1S1, BACH1, MGST1 and SETD1B, were identified to play a critical role in SONFH progression through osteoclast differentiation and immunologic mechanisms. Additionally, all the 4 genes had good disease prediction effect and could act as biomarkers for the diagnosis and treatment of SONFH.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Iliac bone flap with deep circumflex iliac artery is a common option in the treatment of Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH), and dissection of iliac bone flap is the key step for successful operation. This paper aims to introduce a new operative technique for dissecting iliac bone flap with deep circumflex iliac artery based on analysis of its advantages. METHODS A total of 49 patients treated by retrograde anatomy and 52 patients treated by anterograde anatomy from January 2010 to December 2020 were recruited. The two groups were then compared in terms of the preoperative baseline conditions, intraoperative data, and postoperative Harris hip score (HHS). RESULTS Compared with the retrograde anatomy group, the anterograde anatomy group had a significantly longer operating time, a significantly heavier intraoperative blood loss, a significantly higher rate of donor complication morbidity, a significantly higher rate of donor-recipient delayed healing, a significantly higher failure rate of iliac bone flap resection, a significantly higher rate of lateral femoral cutaneous nerve (LFCN) injury, and a significantly higher rate of ectopic ossification. No difference was found in postoperative HHS score between the two groups. CONCLUSION As a new operative technique that can accurately locate the nutrient vessels of the iliac bone flap and quickly dissect the iliac bone flap with deep circumflex iliac artery while maintaining a comparable clinical effect, retrograde anatomy exhibited distinct advantages over anterograde anatomy in terms of simpler intraoperative operation, safer dissection, shorter operation time, lower blood loss, and fewer donor complications.

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
BACKGROUND Glucocorticoid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head (GIONFH) is a common disease in osteoarticular surgery, with a high disability rate, which brings great physical and mental pain and economic burden to patients. Its specific pathogenesis has not been fully demonstrated, and there is a lack of recognized effective biomarkers for earlier detection and prompt treatment. This has become an urgent clinical problem for orthopedic scholars. MATERIALS AND METHODS We downloaded the gene expression profile dataset GSE123568 from the Gene Expression Omnibus database, used STRING and Cytoscape to carry out module analysis and built a gene interaction network. The four core genes most related to GIONFH in this network were ultimately found out by precise analysis and animal experiment were then conducted for verification. In this verification process, thirty-six New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into blank control group, model group and drug group. Except for the blank control group, the animal model of GIONFH was established by lipopolysaccharide and methylprednisolone, while the drug group was given the lipid-lowering drugs for intervention as planned. The rabbits were taken for magnetic resonance imaging at different stages, and their femoral head specimens were taken for pathological examination, then the expression of target genes in the femoral head specimens of corresponding groups was detected. Validation methods included RT-PCR and pathological examination. RESULTS A total of 679 differential genes were selected at first, including 276 up-regulated genes and 403 down-regulated genes. Finally, four genes with the highest degree of correlation were screened. Animal experiment results showed that ASXL1 and BNIP3L were in low expression, while FCGR2A and TYROBP were highly expressed. CONCLUSION Through animal experiments, it was confirmed that ASXL1, BNIP3L, FCGR2A and TYROBP screened from the comparative analysis of multiple genes in the database were closely related to GIONFH, which is important for early diagnosis of Glucocorticoid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head.

Abstract
PURPOSE Steroid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head (SONFH) was a refractory orthopedic hip joint disease in the young and middle-aged people, but the pathogenesis of SONFH remained unclear. We aimed to identify the potential genes and screen potential therapeutic compounds for SONFH. METHODS The microarray was obtained for blood tissue from the GEO database, and then it identifies differentially expressed genes (DEGs). The DEGs were analyzed to obtain the differences in immune cell infiltration. The gene functional enrichment analysis of SONFH was analyzed. The PPI of DEGs was identified through the STRING database, and the cluster modules and hub genes were ascertained using MCODE and CytoHubba, and the ROC curve of hub genes was analyzed, and the tissues distribution of hub genes was understood by the HPA, Bgee and BioGPS databases. The hub genes and target miRNAs and corresponding upstream lncRNAs were predicted by TargetScan, miRDB and ENCORI database. Subsequently, we used CMap, DGIdb and L1000FWD databases to identify several potential therapeutic molecular compounds for SONFH. Finally, the AutoDockTools Vina, PyMOL and Discovery Studio were employed for molecular docking analyses between compounds and hub genes. RESULTS The microarray dataset GSE123568 was obtained related to SONFH. There were 372 DEGs including 197 upregulated genes and 175 downregulated genes by adjusted P value < 0.01 and |log2FC|> 1. Several significant GSEA enrichment analysis and biological processes and KEGG pathway associated with SONFH were identified, which were significantly related to cytoskeleton organization, nucleobase-containing compound catabolic process, NOD-like receptor signaling pathway, MAPK signaling pathway, FoxO signaling pathway, neutrophil-mediated immunity, neutrophil degranulation and neutrophil activation involved in immune response. Activated T cells CD4 memory, B cells naïve, B cells memory, T cells CD8 and T cells gamma delta might be involved in the occurrence and development of SONFH. Three cluster modules were identified in the PPI network, and eleven hub genes including FPR2, LILRB2, MNDA, CCR1, IRF8, TYROBP, TLR1, HCK, TLR8, TLR2 and CCR2 were identified by Cytohubba, which were differed in bone marrow, adipose tissue and blood, and which had good diagnostic performance in SONFH. We identified IRF8 and 10 target miRNAs that was utilized including Targetsan, miRDB and ENCORI databases and 8 corresponding upstream lncRNAs that was revealed by ENCORI database. IRF8 was detected with consistent expression by qRT-PCR. Based on the CMap, DGIdb and L1000FWD databases, the 11 small molecular compounds that were most strongly therapeutic correlated with SONFH were estradiol, genistein, domperidone, lovastatin, myricetin, fenbufen, rosiglitazone, sirolimus, phenformin, vorinostat and vinblastine. All of 11 small molecules had good binding affinity with the IRF8 in molecular docking. CONCLUSION The occurrence of SONFH was associated with a "multi-target" and "multi-pathway" pattern, especially related to immunity, and IRF8 and its noncoding RNA were closely related to the development of SONFH. The CMap, DGIdb and L1000FWD databases could be effectively used in a systematic manner to predict potential drugs for the prevention and treatment of SONFH. However, additional clinical and experimental research is warranted.

Abstract
To characterize pathoetiologic associations of heritable thrombophilia-hypofibrinolysis with idiopathic (primary) multifocal osteonecrosis (ON) (≥3 ON anatomic sites), we prospectively studied 28 women and 12 men with primary multifocal ON compared with 27 women and 24 men with primary nonmultifocal ON (<3 sites) and 110 healthy controls without ON. The 40 cases with primary multifocal ON differed from controls for 3 familial thrombophilias: Factor V Leiden heterozygosity (6 of 40 [15%] vs 2 of 109 [2%], P=.002), G20210A prothrombin gene heterozygosity (6 of 40 [15%] vs 3 of 110 [3%], P=.011), and high (>150%) Factor VIII (8 of 40 [20%] vs 7 of 103 [7%], P=.031). These case-control familial coagulation differences paralleled those in 51 concurrently evaluated cases with primary nonmulti-focal ON, 7 of 51 (14%) of whom had Factor V Leiden heterozygosity vs 2% of controls (P=.005) and 14 of 44 (32%) of whom had high Factor VIII vs 7 of 103 (7%) of controls (P=.0002). Recognition of familial thrombophilia as a common pathoetiology of primary multifocal ON provides an opportunity for early anticoagulation (before joint collapse), allowing both prophylaxis and therapy aimed at relieving pain and slowing or stopping progression of the disease to joint collapse.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The incidence of avascular necrosis (AVN) after pediatric femoral neck fracture (PFNF) in the literature varies widely, and the risk factors associated with AVN after PFNF are controversial. Therefore, this study aimed to accurately investigate the incidence of AVN after PFNF and systematically evaluate and meta-classify their risk factors. METHODS A comprehensive search was performed of PubMed, Web of Science, and Embase. The pooled rate and 95% confidence interval (CI) were used to assess the incidence of AVN after PFNF, and pooled odds ratio (OR) were calculated to measure the effect sizes. In addition, we performed subgroup, stratified, and publication bias analyses. RESULTS A total of 30 articles were included in our meta-analysis, with 303 AVN cases among 1185 patients. The pooled incidence of AVN after PFNF was 22% (95% CI 18%, 27%). Subgroup analyses indicated Delbet type I-IV fracture incidences with AVN of 45%, 32%, 17%, and 12%, respectively. The incidence of AVN after PFNF in Asia was 19%, lower than in Africa at 36%, Europe at 26%, and North America at 23%. In addition, the larger sample size group and the earlier published literature group showed a higher incidence of necrosis. Stratified analyses showed that patient age and Delbet fracture classification were both important factors affecting AVN after PFNF (OR = 1.61, p = 0.02 and OR = 3.02, p < 0.001, respectively), while the time to treatment was not (OR = 0.9, p = 0.71). CONCLUSION The pooled incidence of AVN after PFNF was ~ 22%; furthermore, the available evidence demonstrates that patient age and Delbet type of fracture were important influencing factors of AVN after PFNF.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The effect of core decompression on the treatment of pre-collapse non-traumatic osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is still limited. This study aimed to explore the efficacy of core decompression combined with intra-articular decompression (debridement of the hip joint and incision of the hip capsule) under hip arthroscopic guidance in patients with pre-collapse ONFH. METHODS The clinical data of 101 patients with pre-collapse ONFH were analysed retrospectively. Sixty patients (80 hips) received small-diameter multi-channel core decompression alone in first half review period (group B). Forty-one patients (59 hips) were treated with small-diameter multi-channel core decompression combined with intra-articular decompression under hip arthroscopy guidance in second half review period (group A). The surgical duration; intraoperative bleeding; intra-articular pressure(IAP) before and after surgery; length of hospital stay; hospitalisation expenses; visual analogue scale (VAS) score before, 1 week, 4 weeks, 3 months and 1 year after surgery; and Harris score of the hip joint before, 3 months and 1 year after surgery were recorded and compared between group A and group B. X-ray examination was performed every month to observe the collapse of the femoral head within 2 years after surgery, which was compared using the Kaplan-Meier survival curve analysis. RESULTS When the two groups were compared, the surgical duration was longer and hospitalisation expenses were higher in group A than in group B (P < 0.05). However, the VAS score and the Harris score of the hip joint after surgery improved significantly compared with those before surgery (P < 0.05), which were more apparent in group A than in group B (P < 0.05). X-ray examination revealed that 6 hips in group A and 22 in group B received femoral head collapse at the 2-year follow-up. The survival rate of the femoral head in group A was significantly higher than that in group B (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION Small-diameter multi-channel core decompression combined with intra-articular decompression (debridement of the hip joint and incision of the hip capsule) under hip arthroscopic guidance for treating early ONFH can more effectively alleviate joint pain, improve joint function and delay ONFH progression.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the potential role of serum nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT) in non-traumatic osteonecrosis of femoral head (NONFH). METHODS A total of 113 NONFH patients and 81 healthy individuals were included in this study. The NAMPT levels in serum were measured by a commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kit. Radiographic progression was determined using Association Research Circulation Osseous (ARCO) classification system. Clinical severity was assessed by Harris hip score (HHS) and visual analogue scale (VAS). Correlations between serum NAMPT and radiographic progression as well as clinical severity were evaluated statistically. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were performed to evaluate the diagnostic values of NAMPT in NONFH potential and disease severity. RESULTS The serum NAMPT levels in NONFH patients were significantly lower than that in healthy controls. There were no significant differences among alcohol-induced group, steroids-induced group, and idiopathic group. NONFH patients with ARCO stage 4 had significant lower serum NAMPT levels in comparisons with ARCO stage 3 and 2, respectively. Lower serum NAMPT levels were also observed in bilateral NONFH cases compared with cases with unilateral NONFH. In addition, serum NAMPT was negatively correlated with ARCO stages and VAS scores, and positively correlated with HHS. ROC curve analysis indicated that serum NAMPT may serve as a novel biomarker for diagnosing early NONFH and for monitoring disease severity. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that serum NAMPT may serve as a novel biomarker for NONFH potential and disease severity.

Abstract
Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is a potentially disabling orthopedic condition that requires total hip arthroplasty in most late-stage cases. However, mechanisms underlying the development of ONFH remain unknown, and the therapeutic strategies remain limited. Growth factors play a crucial role in different physiological processes, including cell proliferation, invasion, metabolism, apoptosis, and stem cell differentiation. Recent studies have reported that polymorphisms of growth factor-related genes are involved in the pathogenesis of ONFH. Tissue and genetic engineering are attractive strategies for treating early-stage ONFH. In this review, we summarized dysregulated growth factor-related genes and their role in the occurrence and development of ONFH. In addition, we discussed their potential clinical applications in tissue and genetic engineering for the treatment of ONFH.

Abstract
Purpose Hip preservation therapy of early ONFH (Osteonecrosis of the femoral head) has emerged as one of the hot areas of research. We have optimized the procedure of traditional MFCVBG (medial femoral circumflex vascularized bone grafting) by using specialized surgical tools and used the finite element analysis to guide the implantation position of the bone flap during surgery and validate the biological mechanical stability of the modified MFCVBG. Methods This study was based on the data of a male patient with left hip (ARCO stage IIB, JIC type C) hormonal ONFH. Harris score (HHS), anteroposterior and lateral hip radiographs, frog position hip radiographs and SPECT/CT of femoral head flow imaging were performed postoperatively to evaluate clinical efficacy. The patient’s CT data were used to establish upper femur finite element model of the normal group, osteonecrosis group and postoperative group, respectively. The force on the femoral structure of each group was analyzed under four different loads in the gait cycle of 0.5 times the body weight (0.5 G, standing on two feet), 2.75 G (standing on one foot), 4 G (walking with the middle foot on the ground) and 7 G (walking with the toe off the ground) to validate the biological mechanical stability of the modified MFCVBG, predict femoral head collapse risk, simulate of the different healing conditions of postoperative bone flap, and analyze the postoperative effect of non-ideal surgical model. Results According to the follow-up results, the bone flap and the inner wall of decompression channel healed well, no osteonecrosis progression, no local collapse or micro-fracture occurred in the femoral head, and the articular surface was intact and the necrosis was well repaired. According to the result of the finite element analysis, compared with the osteonecrosis group, the overall stress and displacement peak of the upper femur and the cortical bone stress peak of the femoral head in the postoperative group and normal group were significantly reducing; modified MFCVBG can significantly improve the biomechanical stability of necrotic femoral head and reduce the risk of femoral head collapse; there was no obvious abnormal stress distribution in the greater trochanter and intertrochanter region after the flap was removed; the bone flap of the complete removal of necrotic focus + long bone flap group was directly placed at the bottom of the decompression passage, and the bone flap cortical bone can provide substantial mechanical support; in theory, patients can try to reduce the load with crutches or walking aids and carry out appropriate flat activities to effectively promote the early postoperative recovery. Conclusions The modified MFCVBG resulted in good efficacy, safety and feasibility. The necrotic focus should be completely removed during the operation, and the long bone flap should be placed directly under the subchondral bone. For patients with better bone healing ability, a more positive attitude can be taken to promote early postoperative weight-bearing.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of total hip arthroplasty (THA) following less invasive hip-preserving procedures (LIHPs) and present a critical overview of the literature to aid in better result interpretation. The search time was from the establishment of the database to September 2021, and the outcome indicators were extracted and analyzed by Cochrane Collaboration Review Manager software (RevMan version 5.4). Finally, 10 articles were included in this meta-analysis by searching Chinese databases and English databases. Three of them were published in Chinese, and the remaining studies were published in English. LIHP was further divided into the tantalum rod implantation group and the non-tantalum rod implantation group. The results showed that prior tantalum rod implantation increased the difficulty of conversion to THA, which was reflected mainly in the longer operative time [weighted mean difference (WMD) = 24.50, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 14.09–34.91, P < 0.00001] and greater intraoperative blood loss (WMD = 114.74, 95% CI = 33.52–195.96, P = 0.006), while no significant difference was found between the non-tantalum rod implantation group and the control group. Simultaneously, easier intraoperative fracture [odds ratio (OR) = 5.88, 95% CI = 0.93–37.05, P = 0.06] and stem malalignment (OR = 4.17, 95% CI = 1.18–14.71, P = 0.03) in the LIHP group tended to be observed than in the control THA group. However, there was no significant difference in cup anteversion and inclination angle, ectopic ossification, postoperative Harris Hip Score and survivorship between the LIHP group and the control group. Although LIHP increased the difficulty of the conversion to THA, it does not detrimentally affect the clinical results of subsequent THA in the mid-term follow-up.

Abstract
Non-traumatic osteonecrosis of the femoral head is the main cause of disability in young individuals and incurs major health care expenditure. The lifestyle changes in recent years, especially increased use of hormones and alcohol consumption, has greatly increased the incidence of femoral head necrosis. The underlying causes and risk factors of osteonecrosis of the femoral head are increasingly being elucidated, which has led to the development of novel surgical and non-surgical treatment options. Although the main goal of any treatment method is prevention and delaying the progression of disease, there is no common consensus on the most suitable method of treatment. The present review discussed the latest developments in the etiology and treatment methods for femoral head necrosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Core decompression (CD) is beneficial in the early stage of osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH). Adjunctive bone marrow derived cell therapies (BMDCT) have been advocated which potentially aid the regenerative process. QUESTION/PURPOSE This study was conducted to determine potential benefit of CD + BMDCT in ONFH, in terms of disease progression, conversion to arthroplasty (primary outcomes), and functional outcomes and complication rates (secondary outcomes). METHODS A systematic review of literature was performed on 3 databases. Studies reporting CD + BMDCT (intralesional instillation) in ONFH, with a minimum follow up of 1 year and reporting the pre-defined outcome measures were included in the review. Meta-analysis consisted of two different arms: a comparative arm, to compare CD + BMDCT to CD alone, and a non-comparative meta-analysis arm, to determine pooled rates of disease progression, conversion to arthroplasty and complication rates. RESULTS A total of 18 studies were included in the systematic review. CD + BMDCT had lower rates of disease progression (OR 0.19 [95% CI, 0.09, 0.40]) and conversion to arthroplasty (OR 0.20 [95% CI, 0.11, 0.40]) as compared to CD alone. Functional score (MD = -7.07 [95% CI, -12.28, -1.86]) and visual analog scale also showed better improvement with the use of CD + BMAC (MD = -10.39 [95% CI, -12.87, -7.90]). Increasing age and post-collapse stage at presentation were noted to have an adverse effect on the outcomes. CONCLUSION CD + BMDCT was found to decrease disease progression and conversion to arthroplasty, and was noted to have better functional outcome scores as compared to CD alone.

Abstract
Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is caused when circulation within the femoral head is disrupted. Etiology of this disease is characterized by either traumatic events or atraumatic risk factors, such as chronic alcohol consumption or glucocorticoid use. ONFH commonly presents as pain in the groin, gluteus muscles, and/or knee with reductions in internal rotation range of motion of the hip. ONFH pathology can be confirmed with radiographic or advanced imaging and characterized by stage, size and location of the lesion. Treatment for ONFH consists of conservative and therapeutic methods as well as surgical intervention. Historically, ONFH has been treated using total hip arthroplasty (THA), but with increasing incidence in a younger, active population, measures to preserve the native hip joint have been explored. Recent advancements in hip arthroscopy and arthroscopy-assisted core decompression have led to improved outcomes, reduced pain and higher hip survival rate for early onset ONFH compared with more invasive approaches such as THA. Biologic treatments combined with arthroscopic core decompression have also shown improved outcomes and quality of life in few reports, suggesting a potential role for biologic adjuncts. The current study provides a comprehensive review and update on the literature surrounding arthroscopy-assisted core decompression for patients with ONFH.
