Adequate evaluation of osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) requires assessing infarct size and joint involvement. While trends show improved methods, many studies still use limited classifications for ONFH, highlighting a need for comprehensive approaches.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Radiology
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Adequate evaluation of osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) necessitates indicating infarct size and joint involvement alongside disease stage.
  • Previous studies have focused on treatment but often lacked standardized, comprehensive evaluation methods for ONFH.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the adequacy of patient evaluation in published ONFH studies over the last 25 years.
  • To identify trends in the methods used for classifying ONFH pathology.

Main Methods:

  • A review of 208 articles on ONFH treatment published between 1985 and 2011.
  • Classification systems cited in these studies were categorized as non-quantitative (stage only) or quantitative (stage and extent).

Main Results:

  • Non-quantitative systems were cited more frequently (59%) than quantitative systems (32%) overall between 1985-2011.
  • From 2006-2011, non-quantitative systems were cited in 48% of studies, while quantitative systems were used in 44%, indicating a narrowing gap but continued reliance on limited methods.

Conclusions:

  • A trend towards more comprehensive ONFH evaluation methods is evident over 25 years.
  • However, approximately half of recent studies still employ limited, non-quantitative evaluations.
  • Future ONFH research and publications should adopt comprehensive classification systems including infarct size and joint involvement.
