Osteonecrosis of the Femoral Head
Osteonecrosis of the femoral head is a progressive and debilitating condition with a wide variety of etiologies including trauma, steroid use, and alcohol intake. Diagnosis and staging are based on imaging including MRI at any stage and plain radiography in more advanced lesions.

Updating Osteonecrosis of the Femoral Head
Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH), a condition characterized by the presence of a necrotic bone lesion in the femoral head, is caused by a disruption in the blood supply. Its occurrence is more common in young and middle-aged adults and it is the main reason for performance of total hip arthroplasty in this age group. Its incidence is increasing

Arthroplasty in Femoral Head Osteonecrosis [PDF]
Osteonecrosis of the femoral head is a destructive joint disease requiring early hip arthroplasty. The polyethylene-metal design using a 22-mm femoral head component, introduced by Charnley in 1950, has been widely used for over half a century. Since then, different materials with the capacity to minimize friction between bearing surfaces and various ...

Osteonecrosis of the Femoral Head
Avascular necrosis when occurring as osteonecrosis of the femoral head poses a challenge for hip surgeons due to the risk of collapse of the articular cartilage. The pathological process and its various stages have been classified using a number of systems to aid with diagnostic decision making and employing a variety of methods of operative ...

Performance of the resurfaced hip. Part 2: the influence of prosthesis stem design on remodelling and fracture of the femoral neck [PDF]
Hip resurfacing is a popular treatment for osteoarthritis in young, active patients. Previous studies have shown that occasional failures – femoral neck fracture and implant loosening, possibly associated with bone adaptation – are affected by prosthesis

A novel model of traumatic femoral head necrosis in rats developed by microsurgical technique
Background Clinical angiography and vascular microperfusion confirmed that the femoral head retains blood supply after a collum femur fracture. However, no animal model accurately mimics this clinical situation.
