Quality of life of patients with osteonecrosis of the femoral head: a multicentre study

Abstract: Collapsed ONFH was associated with low QOL scores. Among patients with non-collapsed lesions, alcohol-associated ONFH, bilateral disease, and male sex were linked to low QOL scores.

“…ONFH leads to collapse of the femoral head in 80% of cases, results in osteoarthritis in young patients and affects the patient's quality of life [7,21]. The present study showed that the co-treatment of LPZ with corticosteroids prevents the development of ONFH in experimental animals, as well as in patients with immune disease treated with corticosteroids.…”

“…Several conservative approaches [17,18] have been proposed for osteonecrosis treatment including weight restriction and observation, core decompression, various osteotomies, and bone grafting (structural or nonstructural and fibula vascularized or non-vascularized). However, these techniques have high failures reports for some of them, and others change the morphology of the hip which may be non-esthetic in a young woman [19]. Our technique demonstrates good results and better results than those observed in other causes of osteonecrosis with the same technique [12,20,21].…”
