Abstract
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 along with increased use of glucocorticoids for management of adjuvant therapy for treatment of leukemia as well as organ transplantation and other myelogenous diseases. Current information on etiology and pathogenesis, as well as natural history, stage system, and treatments is provided in this review. A description of the Association Research Circulation Osseous (ARCO) criteria for classification of glucocorticoids- and alcohol-associated ONFH, 2019 ARCO staging system, and 2021 ARCO classification using computed tomography for the early stages of ONFH is also provided.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Femoral head necrosis (FHN) affects mostly young and active people. The most common operative therapy is core decompression (CD) with optional cancellous bone grafting (CBG). Because little information is available on the long-term results of these procedures, we investigated the effectiveness of CD and CD + CBG in patients with ARCO stage II FHN in terms of postoperative pain, range of motion, patient-reported outcome measures (Harris Hip Score, Hip Disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score, EuroQol 5D, and Short Form 36 Questionnaire), and disease progression. METHODS We retrospectively compared 11 patients treated with CD alone 48.0 months (range, 26.3-68.5 months) postoperatively versus 11 patients treated with CD + CBG 69.2 months (range, 38.0-92.9 months) postoperatively. All patients were assessed according to a routine clinical protocol involving a clinical examination, questionnaires, and radiological imaging (X-ray and magnetic resonance imaging). RESULTS The clinical and radiological results showed no significant differences between the two groups. Both interventions demonstrated equal results according to clinical scores. CONCLUSIONS Our data may encourage application of the less invasive technique of CD alone without CBG, which is more surgically demanding. Further prospective studies with longer follow-up are necessary to clarify the risk factors for therapy failure.

Abstract
Depending on the age and location within the skeleton, bone marrow can be mostly fatty or hematopoietic, and both types can be affected by marrow necrosis. This review article highlights the magnetic resonance imaging findings of disorders in which marrow necrosis is the dominant feature.Fatty marrow necrosis is detected on T1-weighted images that show an early and specific finding: the reactive interface. Collapse is a frequent complication of epiphyseal necrosis and detected on fat-suppressed fluid-sensitive sequences or using conventional radiographs. Nonfatty marrow necrosis is less frequently diagnosed. It is poorly visible on T1-weighted images, and it is detected on fat-suppressed fluid-sensitive images or by the lack of enhancement after contrast injection.Pathologies historically "misnamed" as osteonecrosis but do not share the same histologic or imaging features of marrow necrosis are also highlighted.

Avascular necrosis of the femoral head: three-dimensional measurement of drilling precision reveals high accuracy and no difference between fluoroscopically controlled core decompression and cancellous bone grafting. Arch Orthop Trauma Surg 2023:10.1007/s00402-022-04753-2.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Avascular osteonecrosis of the femoral head (AVN) is a widespread disease affecting mostly young and active people, often exacerbating in progressive stages, ending in joint replacement. The most common joint preserving operative therapy for early stages is core decompression (CD), optional with cancellous bone grafting (CBG). For success it is vital that the necrotic area is hit and the sclerotic rim is broken by drilling into the defect zone to relieve intraosseous pressure. The aim of this study was to investigate if both techniques are precise enough to hit the center of the necrosis and if there is a difference in precision between drilling with small pins (CD) and the trephine (CBG). PATIENTS AND METHODS 10 patients underwent CD, 12 patients CBG with conventional C-arm imaging. Postoperatively 3D MRI reconstructions of the necrotic area and the drilling channels were compared. The deviation of the drilling channel from the center of the necrotic area was measured. PROMs (HHS, HOOS, EQ-5D, SF-36) were evaluated to compare the clinical success of these procedures. RESULTS Neither with CD nor with CBG the defect zone was missed. The drilling precision of both procedures did not differ significantly: distance to center 3.58 mm for CD (range 0.0-14.06, SD 4.2) versus 3.91 mm for CBG (range 0.0-15.27, SD 4.7). PROMs showed no significant difference. CONCLUSION Concerning the most important difference between the two procedures-the surgical higher demanding technique of CBG-we suggest applying the less invasive technique of CD alone.

Eur Radiol 2023:10.1007/s00330-023-09403-8. [PMID: 36640174 DOI: 10.1007/s00330-023-09403-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/30/2022] [Revised: 12/13/2022] [Accepted: 12/23/2022] [Indexed: 01/15/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To determine the diagnostic values of deep changes beyond the subchondral bone in osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) to distinguish between Association Research Circulation Osseous (ARCO) stages 2 and 3A. METHODS This retrospective study included 124 hips with ONFH of stages 2 (n = 49; 23 females; mean age, 50.7 years) and 3A (n = 75; 20 females; mean age, 53.2 years) from May 2017 to August 2022, who underwent CT (n = 124) and MRI (n = 85). Deep changes beyond subchondral bone were analyzed on CT (bone resorption area and cystic change) and on MRI (bone marrow edema [BME] and joint effusion). Diagnostic performance and multivariate analysis were evaluated for detecting stage 3A. RESULTS Stage 3A showed more frequent bone resorption area (72.0% vs. 4.1%), cystic change (52.0% vs. 0.0%), BME (93.5% vs. 43.6%), and joint effusion (76.0% vs. 24.5%) than stage 2 (p < 0.001, all). Bone resorption area and cystic change showed low sensitivities (52.0~72.0%) but high specificities (96.0~100.0%), while BME and joint effusion showed high sensitivities (76.0~93.0%) but low specificities (56.0~76.0%) for stage 3A. Predictors were in the order of bone resorption area, cystic change, and joint effusion (odds ratio: 32.952, 26.281, 9.603, respectively), and combined bone resorption area and cystic change had the best predictive value (AUC, 0.900) for stage 3A. CONCLUSIONS Among deep changes, bone resorption area and cystic changes were highly specific and BME and joint effusion were highly sensitive for stage 3A. Combined bone resorption area and cystic change had the best predictive value for predicting ARCO stage 3A. KEY POINTS • The exact classification between ARCO stage 2 and 3A is essential but it is sometimes difficult to distinguish between ARCO stage 2 and 3A only by subchondral fracture, especially early post-collapse stage with preservation of femoral head contour. • The predictors of stage 3A were in the order of bone resorption area, cystic change, and joint effusion and combined bone resorption area and cystic change had the best predictive value for predicting stage 3A. • Analysis of deep changes beyond the subchondral bone may make it easier to distinguish between ARCO stage 2 and 3A.

The influence of bone marrow edema for the assessment of the boundaries of necrotic lesions in patients with osteonecrosis of the femoral head. Sci Rep 2022; 12:18649. [PMID: 36333527 PMCID: PMC9636171 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-022-23427-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/11/2022] [Accepted: 10/31/2022] [Indexed: 11/06/2022] Open
Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the influence of bone marrow edema (BME) for the assessment of the boundaries of necrotic lesions using unenhanced and contrast-enhanced (CE) magnetic resonance (MR) images in patients with osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH). We retrospectively reviewed 72 consecutive hips in 55 patients of ONFH that were Association Research Circulation Osseous (ARCO) stage III or higher and underwent both unenhanced and contrast-enhanced MR imaging between January 2005 and February 2016. The degree of extension of BMEs, and the boundaries of the necrotic lesions were compared using unenhanced and CE MR images on both mid coronal and mid oblique-axial slices. Forty-two percent of the coronal T1 images, 40% of the coronal fat-saturated T2 images, and 48% of the oblique-axial T1 images showed differences in the boundaries of necrotic lesion, by comparison with those of CET1-weighted MR images. The boundaries of necrotic lesions were clearly detected in all hips on CE coronal slices and 97% of all hips on CE oblique-axial slices. The BME grade in the difference group was significantly higher than in the non-difference group on the coronal plane (P = 0.0058). There were significant differences between the BME grade and duration from the onset of hip pain to MR imaging examination. Multivariate analyses revealed that the duration from the onset to MR imaging examination in both coronal (P = 0.0008) and oblique-axial slices (P = 0.0143) were independently associated with differences in the boundary of necrotic lesion between T1 and CET1-weighted MR images. Our findings suggest that unenhanced MR image may be insufficient for a precise assessment of the boundaries of the necrotic lesions for ONFH cases in the early phase of subchondral collapse due to the diffuse BME.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Association Research Circulation Osseous developed a novel classification for early-stage (precollapse) osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH). We hypothesized that the novel classification is more reliable and valid when compared to previous 3 classifications: Steinberg, modified Kerboul, and Japanese Investigation Committee classifications. METHODS In the novel classification, necrotic lesions were classified into 3 types: type 1 is a small lesion, where the lateral necrotic margin is medial to the femoral head apex; type 2 is a medium-sized lesion, with the lateral necrotic margin being between the femoral head apex and the lateral acetabular edge; and type 3 is a large lesion, which extends outside the lateral acetabular edge. In a derivation cohort of 40 early-stage osteonecrotic hips based on computed tomography imaging, reliabilities were evaluated using kappa coefficients, and validities to predict future femoral head collapse by chi-squared tests and receiver operating characteristic curve analyses. The predictability for future collapse was also evaluated in a validation cohort of 104 early-stage ONFH. RESULTS In the derivation cohort, interobserver reliability (k = 0.545) and intraobserver agreement (63%-100%) of the novel method were higher than the other 3 classifications. The novel classification system was best able to predict future collapse (P < .05) and had the best discrimination between non-progressors and progressors in both the derivation cohort (area under the curve = 0.692 [0.522-0.863], P < .05) and the validation cohort (area under the curve = 0.742 [0.644-0.841], P = 2.46 × 10-5). CONCLUSION This novel classification is a highly reliable and valid method of those examined. Association Research Circulation Osseous recommends using this method as a unified classification for early-stage ONFH. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III, diagnostic study.

Abstract
ABSTRACT
Load-bearing capacity of the bone structures of anterolateral weight-bearing area plays an important role in the progressive collapse in osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH). The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of combined evaluation of anteroposterior (AP) and frog-leg lateral (FLL) view in diagnosing collapse. Between December 2016 and August 2018, a total of 478 hips from 372 patients with ONFH (268 male, 104 female; mean age 37.9 ± 11.4 years) were retrospectively evaluated. All patients received standard AP and FLL views of hip joints. Japanese Investigation Committee (JIC) classification system was used to classify necrotic lesion in AP view. Anterior necrotic lesion was evaluated by FLL view. All patients with pre-collapse ONFH underwent non-operative hip-preserving therapy. The collapse rates were calculated and compared with Kaplan–Meier survival analysis with radiological collapse as endpoints. Forty-four (44/478, 9.2%) hips were classified as type A, 65 (65/478, 13.6%) as type B, 232 (232/478, 48.5%) as type C1 and 137 (137/478, 28.7%) as type C2. Three hundred cases (300/478, 62.5%) were collapsed at the initial time point. Two hundred and twenty six (226/300, 75.3%) hips and 298 (298/300, 99.3%) hips collapse were identified with AP view and FLL view, respectively. An average follow-up of 37.0 ± 32.0 months was conducted to evaluate the occurrence of collapse in 178 pre-collapse hips. Collapses occurred in 89 hips (50.0%). Seventy-seven (77/89, 86.5%) hips were determined with AP view alone and 85 (85/89, 95.5%) hips were determined with the combination of AP and FLL views. The collapse rates at five years were reported as 0% and 0%, 16.2% and 24.3%, 58.3% and 68.1% and 100% and 100% according to AP view alone or combination of AP and FLL views for types A, B, C1 and C2, respectively. The collapse can be diagnosed more accurately by combination of AP and FLL views. Besides, JIC type A and type B ONFH can be treated with conservative hip preservation, but pre-collapse type C2 ONFH should be treated with joint-preserving surgery. Type C1 needs further study to determine which subtype has potential risk of collapse.

Abstract
Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is a recalcitrant ischemic disorder, which could be classified into two major categories: traumatic and nontraumatic. Regardless of different risk factors, it has been testified that ONFH results from primitive vascular problems, leading to temporary or permanent loss of blood supply to bone tissue. Histopathological and microarchitectural alterations ensues, which is a gradual evolutionary process involving bone marrow and osteocyte necrosis, progressive destruction of subchondral bone, unsuccessful reparative process, and eventual articular collapse and degenerative arthritis. Based on the imaging features of ONFH, different classification systems have been developed to evaluate the severity and prognosis of the disease, which is pivotal for implementation of treatment strategy, especially the joint-preserving surgery. However, patients classified with the same severity stage, especially in the peri-collapse stage, sometimes responded differently after similar joint-preserving surgery. The unusual phenomenon may be attributed to the limitation of the current imaging classification systems, which might underestimate the disease severity, especially when referring to the early stages. In this review, we briefly summarize the etiology and pathogenesis of ONFH. The imaging features and staging classification systems of ONFH are also described. More importantly, we focus on histopathological and microstructural alterations of the femoral head, and provide an overview of their essential contribution to ONFH progression. Given the observation of discordance between imaging characteristics and histopathological alterations, a substantial amount of research on the relationship between imaging and histopathological features is required to further modify and revise the current wide-accepted classification systems.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To evaluate the survival rate of porous tantalum rod implantation in the treatment of osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH), evaluate its clinical effect and imaging results. METHODS From January 2008 to December 2013, porous tantalum rod implantation for ONFH was performed in two institutions. Statistical analysis of operation data, including operation time, blood loss and blood transfusion were recorded. RESULTS 52 hips received complete follow-up, the average follow-up time was 85.7 months (60-132 months). 24 hips turned to THA at the end of follow-up (46.2%), the average time was 44.3 ± 32.8 months, and the average Harris hip score before THA was 57.1 ± 7.6. Cox proportional-hazards model revealed that Association Research Circulation Osseous (ARCO) stage (P = 0.017), bone marrow edema (P = 0.006) and age > 40 years (P = 0.043) were independent risk factors for conversion to THA. CONCLUSION ARCO stage, age and bone marrow edema were risk factors for the failure of porous tantalum rod implantation to convert to THA.

[PMID: 34309130 DOI: 10.1002/jmri.27860] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/03/2021] [Revised: 07/14/2021] [Accepted: 07/14/2021] [Indexed: 11/06/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND MRI is the most effective diagnostic tool of osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH), especially for early diagnosis, but its detection of subchondral or cortical fractures is less accurate than CT. Therefore, it is difficult to accurately stage ONFH in the peri-collapse period by MRI. PURPOSE To improve the accuracy of MR for distinguishing between Association Research Circulation Osseous (ARCO) stages 2 and 3A in ONFH. STUDY TYPE Retrospective. SUBJECTS One hundred and fifty five cases of ARCO stage 2/3A of ONFH underwent MR examinations, M/F = 72/83. CT was used as reference standard for collapse, which was decided by an orthopedist and a radiologist in consultation. FIELD STRENGTH/SEQUENCE 3 T/axial and coronal T1 -weighted Turbo Spin Echo (T1 W TSE) sequence, axial T2 -weighted fat-saturated (T2 W FS) TSE sequence, and coronal proton density-weighted imaging (PDWI)-FS-Dixon fat/water image. ASSESSMENT Five potential MR signs (the maximum width of the necrotic-viable interface, bone marrow edema (BME), irregular articular surface of the femoral head, T2 heterogeneous high signal, and the absence of a necrotic-viable interface with the morphology of closed loop) were evaluated blindly by five radiologists independently and the total scores of different combinations of MR signs were calculated. STATISTICAL TESTS Mann-Whitney U test and Chi-square test were used to evaluate age, gender, and MR signs differences between the two groups. ROC curve was used to access the distinguishing value of MR signs. The consistency of the five radiologists was analyzed by intraclass correlation coefficient. RESULTS The area under the curve of the combined MR signs 2 for distinguishing between ARCO stages 2 and 3A was the greatest (0.967), sensitivity and specificity were 100.00% and 88.71% respectively, and greater than 1 was the threshold. DATA CONCLUSION Combined MR signs 2 has great values in distinguishing between ARCO stages 2 and 3A in ONFH, thus helping clinical therapy. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE 4 TECHNICAL EFFICACY: Stage 2.

[PMID: 35140984 PMCID: PMC8819766 DOI: 10.1177/20584601211008379] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/12/2021] [Accepted: 03/19/2021] [Indexed: 11/15/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Avascular osteonecrosis of the femoral head (AVNFH) is an ischemic condition
which despite different treatments often leads to collapse of the femoral
head and to total hip arthroplasty. However, the magnetic resonance imaging
findings predisposing to disease progression and total hip arthroplasty are
somewhat elusive. Purpose To evaluate the magnetic resonance imaging findings of AVNFH and to assess
the patterns of findings which may predict total hip arthroplasty. Materials and methods A retrospective study was conducted with a total of 18 diagnosed AVNFH
treated with core decompression combined with intraosseous stem cell
treatment. After treatment, magnetic resonance imaging follow-ups were done
at three-month and one-year follow-up or until total hip arthroplasty.
Association Research Circulation Osseous classification and magnetic
resonance imaging findings such as the size and the location of the AVNFH,
bone marrow edema in femoral neck, effusion and subchondral fracture were
evaluated. Results Hips advancing to total hip arthroplasty have more often bone marrow edema in
femoral neck (90% vs. 0%), adjacent to necrotic lesion (100% vs. 43%) and in
acetabulum (90% vs. 14%), but also subchondral fractures (70% vs. 0%),
effusion (80% vs. 29%), and synovitis (80% vs. 14,3%). The greater size and
the lateral weight-bearing location of the necrotic lesion also predicted
future total hip arthroplasty. Conclusion Hips advancing to total hip arthroplasty have often a combination of
pathognomonic AVNFH imaging findings compared to hips not advancing to total
hip arthroplasty.

Abstract
Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is a devastating disease frequently leading to femoral head collapse and hip arthritis. Specifically, non-traumatic ONFH primarily affects young and middle-aged adults. Although compromised local circulation of the femoral head seems to be pathognomonic for the disease, the pathogenesis is perplexing and continues to be an area of scrutiny and research. Comprehension of the pathogenesis is of crucial importance for developing and guiding treatments for the disease. Therefore, we provide an up-to-date consensus on the pathogenesis of non-traumatic ONFH.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a progressive degenerative disease that manifests as pain and inflammation and often results in total joint replacement. There is significant interest in understanding how intra-articular injections made from autologous blood or bone marrow could alleviate symptoms and potentially intervene in the progression of the disease. There is in vitro an in vivo evidence that suggests that these therapies, including platelet-rich plasma (PRP), autologous anti-inflammatories (AAIs), and concentrated bone marrow aspirate (cBMA), can interrupt cartilage matrix degradation driven by pro-inflammatory cytokines. This review analyzes the evidence for and against inclusion of white blood cells, the potential role of platelets, and the less studied potential role of blood plasma when combining these components to create an autologous point-of-care therapy to treat OA. There has been significant focus on the differences between the various autologous therapies. However, evidence suggests that there may be more in common between groups and perhaps we should be thinking of these therapies on a spectrum of the same technology, each providing significant levels of anti-inflammatory cytokines that can be antagonists against the inflammatory cytokines driving OA symptoms and progression. While clinical data have demonstrated symptom alleviation, more studies will need to be conducted to determine whether these preclinical disease-modifying findings translate into clinical practice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is now ample evidence suggesting that extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) can improve hip mobility and reduce pain in patients with osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH). The ability of ESWT to cure bone marrow edema syndrome (BMES) in patients with ONFH, 12 weeks after the initial course of ESWT, needs to be verified further and more relevant clinical research-based evidence should be consolidated. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of ESWT for BMES caused by ONFH. METHODS This retrospective cohort study included 67 patients with BMES caused by ONFH who were participating in a rehabilitation program as outpatients. Before and after ESWT, the area of femoral bone marrow edema was evaluated by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and the Harris score and Charnley score were evaluated as hip pain and function indicators. RESULTS After ESWT, MRI revealed that the area of bone marrow edema decreased from 984.6 ± 433.2 mm2 to 189.7 ± 214.4 mm2 (P < 0.0001). The Harris score increased from 42.2 ± 9.1 to 77.7 ± 10.8 points (P < 0.0001). The Charnley score increased from 7.3 ± 1.4 to 12.0 ± 1.7 (P < 0.0001). ESWT was effective in treating BMES in 98.5% of the cases. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrated that ESWT can effectively treat BMES caused by ONFH and can aid in pain relief and functional recovery in patients with ONFH. Thus, ESWT should be included in the classic physical therapy regimen for patients with ONFH and BMES.

Abstract
Background and objective Bone marrow edema (BME) is a rare condition caused by insufficient osseous blood supply and may result in severe pain that has adverse effects on patients’ life. To date, various conservative treatments have been recommended for the treatment of BME, including analgesics, immobilization of the affected extremity, and iloprost infusion. The aim of this retrospective study was to investigate the effectiveness of parenteral iloprost therapy in the treatment of BME detected in different skeletal locations. Materials and methods This retrospective study included 23 patients (17 men and six women) with BME who were classified as stage I-III according to the Association Research Circulation Osseous (ARCO) classification. BME was localized to the proximal femur in 13 (56.5%), the distal femur in four (17.4%), tarsal bone in four (17.4%), and tibial plateau in two (8.7%) patients. The mean age of the patients was 46.7 years and all the patients were evaluated with the Visual Analog scale (VAS), Functional Mobility Scale (FMS), and MRI. Results A significant improvement was observed in the post-treatment VAS and FMS scores of all patients compared to their pre-treatment scores. Moreover, the edema regressed completely in 60.9% of the patients at three months of MRI control. No serious side effects were observed during the treatment in any of the patients. However, transient side effects including headache, arrhythmia, and flushing were observed in five patients. Conclusion The present study indicated that iloprost therapy is an effective and safe option in the treatment of BME patients, particularly in the reduction of severe pain that has adverse effects on patients’ social life, regardless of ARCO staging. Moreover, this therapy could be particularly useful in reducing pain, improving functional recovery, and achieving complete regression of the edema on MRI in ARCO stage I-II patients.

Abstract
Osteonecrosis of the femoral head is a disease that leads to gradual degeneration of the hip joint causing immobility and a devastating impairment of quality of life. Early stage disease is characterised by a bone marrow edema of the proximal femur, a sight it shares with bone marrow edema syndrome. Although total hip arthroplasty offers quick symptom relief and functionally appealing results the treatment remains challenging, with its particularly young patients and considering limited non-invasive treatment options. We treated 6 patients with bone marrow edema in MRI and suspected osteonecrosis of the hip joint with calcium dobesilate, a vasoactive agent used in the treatment of diabetic retinopathy. We could demonstrate rapid symptom relief and concomitant disease remission on control MRI in early stage disease without any adverse events. Patients at advanced stages benefited in terms of pain reduction, but the treatment failed to halt disease progression. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of the therapeutic administration of calcium dobesilate in patients with bone marrow edema syndrome or osteonecrosis of the hip joint.

Abstract
This study characterizes outcomes associated with subchondroplasty (SCP) versus SCP enhanced with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) or bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMC) treatment of impact-induced subchondral bone marrow lesions (BML) using a validated preclinical canine model. With IACUC approval, purpose-bred research hounds (n = 24) underwent arthroscopic impact injury (40 N) to both medial femoral condyles. At 3 months, functional assessments, arthroscopy, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were performed. One knee in each dog (n = 24; n = 12 per endpoint) was randomly assigned to SCP with the other knee randomly assigned to SCP + PRP, SCP + BMC or sham injection (control) (n = 8 per group; n = 4 per endpoint). Dogs were evaluated at 6 and 12 months after treatment using functional assessments, radiography, arthroscopy, and MRI and humanely euthanatized at 6 or 12 months after treatment for histologic assessments. At 6 months post-treatment, comfortable range-of-motion (CROM) was higher (p < 0.04) in SCP + PRP and SCP + BMC knees compared with controls. At 1 year post-treatment, %Total Pressure Index was higher (p = 0.036) in SCP + BMC compared with controls, pain was lower (p < 0.05) in SCP + BMC and SCP + PRP compared with SCP and controls, and CROM was higher (p < 0.05) in SCP + BMC and SCP + PRP compared with SCP and controls. Knees treated with SCP + PRP and SCP + BMC had better (p < 0.05) MRI grades than SCP and controls. No statistically significant differences in arthroscopic or histologic pathology were noted. Clinical significance: Biologics added to SCP treatment may further enhance its beneficial effects by improving range-of-motion, pain severity, and limb loading through 1 year after treatment. However, these benefits must be considered alongside cost, logistics, and treatment availability. © 2019 Orthopaedic Research Society. Published by Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

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

Abstract
Objective: To propose a new definition of the pericollapse stage of osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) and review its significance in disease diagnosis and treatment selection. Data Sources: A search for eligible studies was conducted in three electronic databases including PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Embase up to August 10, 2018, using the following keywords: “osteonecrosis”, “prognosis”, and “treatment”. Study Selection: Investigations appraising the clinical signs, symptoms, and imaging manifestations in different stages of ONFH were included. Articles evaluating the prognosis of various joint-preserving procedures were also reviewed. Results: The pericollapse stage refers to a continuous period in the development of ONFH from the occurrence of subchondral fracture to early collapse (<2 mm), possessing specific imaging features that mainly consist of bone marrow edema and joint effusion on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), crescent signs on X-ray films, and clinical manifestations such as the sudden worsening of hip pain. Accumulating evidence has indicated that these findings may be secondary to the changes after subchondral fractures. Of note, computed tomography provides more information for identifying possible subchondral fractures than does MRI and serves as the most sensitive tool for grading the pericollapse lesion stage. The pericollapse stage may indicate a high possibility of progressive disease but also demonstrates satisfactory long- and medium-term outcomes for joint-preserving techniques. In fact, if the articular surface subsides more than 2 mm, total hip arthroplasty is preferable. Conclusions: The pericollapse stage with distinct clinical and imaging characteristics provides a last good opportunity for the use of joint-preserving techniques. It is necessary to separate the pericollapse stage as an independent state in evaluating the natural progression of ONFH and selecting an appropriate treatment regimen.

Abstract
This study characterizes long-term outcomes associated with subchondroplasty (SCP) treatment for impact-induced subchondral bone marrow lesions (BML) using a validated pre-clinical canine model. With IACUC approval, purpose-bred research hounds (n = 16) underwent arthroscopic impact injury (40N) to both medial femoral condyles. At 3 months, functional assessments, arthroscopy, and MRI were performed and knees (n = 32) were randomly assigned to SCP (3 ml fluoroscopically guided percutaneous injection of AccuFill BSM into BML bone defects) or sham injection (Control). Dogs were assessed at 3, 6, 12, and 24 months after treatment using functional assessments, radiographic evaluation, arthroscopy, and MRI. Dogs were humanely euthanatized at 3, 6, 12, or 24 months after treatment for gross, microCT, and histologic assessments. All knees had focal articular cartilage defects with associated subchondral BMLs, as well as clinical dysfunction, 3 months after injury. At the 3 and 6 months, SCP knees showed more functional impairment than Control knees, however, these differences were not statistically significant. At 1- and 2-year post-treatment, function in SCP knees was better than in Control knees with range of motion being significantly (p < 0.05) better for SCP. Radiographic, arthroscopic, MRI, gross, microCT, and histologic findings matched the functional assessments well with Control being associated with better results at the two early time points and SCP being associated with better results at 1 and 2 years. Clinical significance: SCP treatment using calcium phosphate bone void filler was associated with an initial increase in pain and dysfunction followed by symptomatic benefits for up to 2 years after treatment for post-traumatic femoral condyle BMLs in a preclinical canine model. © 2018 Orthopaedic Research Society.

Abstract
Background Nontraumatic osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is treated with a series of methods. High-energy extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) is an option with promising mid-term outcomes. The objective of this study was to determine the long-term outcomes of ESWT for ONFH. Methods Fifty-three hips in 39 consecutive patients were treated with ESWT in our hospital between January 2005 and July 2006. Forty-four hips in 31 patients with stage I–III nontraumatic ONFH, according to the Association Research Circulation Osseous (ARCO) system, were reviewed in the current retrospective study. The visual analog pain scale (VAS), Harris hip score, radiography, and magnetic resonance imaging were used to estimate treatment results. The progression of ONFH was evaluated by imaging examination and clinical outcomes. The results were classified as clinical success (no progression of hip symptoms) and imaging success (no progression of stage or substage on radiography and MRI). Results The mean follow-up duration was 130.6 months (range, 121 to 138 months). The mean VAS decreased from 3.8 before ESWT to 2.2 points at the 10-year follow-up (p < 0.001). The mean Harris hip score improved from 77.4 before ESWT to 86.9 points at the 10-year follow-up. The clinical success rates were 87.5% in ARCO stage I patients, 71.4% in ARCO stage II patients, and 75.0% in ARCO stage III patients. Imaging success was observed in all stage I hips, 64.3% of stage II hips, and 12.5% of stage III hips. Seventeen hips showed progression of the ARCO stage/substage on imaging examination. Eight hips showed femoral head collapse at the 10-year follow-up. Four hips in ARCO stage III and one hip in ARCO stage II were treated with total hip arthroplasty during the follow-up. Three were performed 1 year after ESWT, one at 2 years, and one at 5 years. Conclusions The results of the current study indicated that ESWT is an effective treatment method for nontraumatic ONFH, resulting in pain relief and function restoration, especially for patients with ARCO stage I–II ONFH.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Iloprost is a commercially available prostaglandin I2 (PGI2) analogue that is shown to have antithrombotic, vasodilatative and antiproliferative effects. A number of clinical studies have shown that Iloprost can be effective in the management of bone marrow oedema and the treatment of avascular necrosis. The aim of this manuscript is to present our current understanding on the effect of Iloprost on the treatment of these conditions. AREAS COVERED The authors offer a comprehensive review of the existing literature on the experimental and clinical studies analysing the effect of Iloprost on bone, bone marrow oedema and avascular necrosis. EXPERT OPINION The available data from the clinical studies suggest that Iloprost has limited effect in advanced stages of avascular necrosis. However, literature suggests that Iloprost administration can be a viable option in the management of bone marrow oedema and early stages of osteonecrosis. Despite these promising results its effect on bone homeostasis needs further elucidation. Moreover, further data on its safety, dosage and efficiency through randomized multicenter studies are desirable in order to reach final conclusions.

Abstract
Bone marrow oedema (BME) is commonly found in hip MR imaging. BME is a nonspecific finding which can be related to a wide variety of diseases. However, there are cases where its existence or its pattern can narrow the differential or even point to a specific diagnosis. Therefore, deep understanding of its pathophysiology is of utmost importance for clinicians and radiologists in order to avoid diagnostic pitfalls. We hereby present currently established knowledge on BME related to adult hip pathology, aiming to raise physicians' suspicion and to highlight that it is mandatory to combine specific imaging patterns with the history, clinical and laboratory findings in order to achieve accurate diagnosis.

Abstract
Collapse of the femoral head is the most significant pathogenic complication arising from osteonecrosis of the femoral head. It is related to the disruption of the maintenance of cartilage and bone, and results in an impaired function of the vascular component. A method for predicting the collapse of the femoral head can be treated as a type of clinical index. Efforts in recent years to predict the collapse of the femoral head due to osteonecrosis include multiple methods of radiographic analysis, stress distribution analysis, finite element analysis, and other innovative methods. Prediction methods for osteonecrosis of the femoral head complications originated in Western countries and have been further developed in Asia. Presently, an increasing number of surgeons have chosen to focus on surgical treatments instead of prediction methods to guide more conservative interventions, resulting in a growing reliance on the more prevalent and highly effective total hip arthroplasty, rather than on more conservative treatments. In this review, we performed a literature search of PubMed and Embase using search terms including "osteonecrosis of femoral head," "prediction," "collapse," "finite element," "radiographic images," and "stress analysis," exploring the basic prediction method and prospects for new applications.

Abstract
Idiopathic osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) can be correctly diagnosed in accordance with the established criteria. However, some general orthopedic physicians have misdiagnosed patients as having ONFH. The goal of this study was to clarify the radiologic and clinical features of misdiagnosed patients. This study included 50 patients who were referred to the authors' hospital by general physicians with a diagnosis of ONFH. The correct diagnosis was made based on the Japanese Investigation Committee diagnostic criteria for ONFH. Demographic data were compared between patients with and without ONFH. Of the 50 patients, 24 were diagnosed with other diseases: 10 with osteoarthritis, 7 with transient osteoporosis of the femoral head, 4 with rapidly destructive coxopathy, and 3 with subchondral insufficiency fracture. Seventeen patients who did not have ONFH had magnetic resonance imaging findings that showed a bone marrow edema pattern at the femoral head. The mean age of 62.9 years among patients without ONFH was significantly higher than that of 45.2 years among patients with ONFH. There were 18 female patients in the non-ONFH group and 5 female patients in the ONFH group. Bilateral disease was found in 1 patient in the non-ONFH group and 17 patients in the ONFH group. No patients in the non-ONFH group had a history of systemic steroid administration compared with 11 patients in the ONFH group. Clinical features associated with the non-ONFH group were female sex, older age, unilateral disease, and no history of systemic steroid administration. For patients with these features, the diagnosis of ONFH should be made carefully. [Orthopedics. 2017; 40(1):e117-e123.].

Abstract
BACKGROUND An increase in interstitial bony fluid occurs in bone-marrow edema (BME). The exact pathogenetic processes still remain unknown. BME is an unspecific finding that can occur on its own or accompany multiple diseases and pathologies. GOAL Literature review and presentation of new guidelines. MATERIAL AND METHODS This is a narrative literature review followed by current advice for the therapy of atraumatic osteonecrosis of the hip, based on the recently published S3-guidelines for this disease. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION The differentiation of at least 3 different etiologies is proposed (mechanic, reactive and ischemic). Difficult, but important, is the distinction between the mostly painful, but benign entities (BME syndrome, bone bruise) and the progressive pathologies (osteonecrosis, arthritis, CRPS, tumour). Treatment options are dependent on etiology and clinic and can often be symptomatic. Core decompression is the surgical gold standard, leading to immediate pressure relief and therefore reduction in pain. Recently, it was shown that intravenous administration of Iloprost and bisphosphonates are also effective in achieving a reduction of BME and pain, with considerable improvement in the accompanying symptoms. The combination of core decompression and infusion seems to be another possible optimization ofthe therapy, in particular in the treatment of osteonecrosis.

Abstract
The aim of this paper is to critically review the literature documenting the imaging approach in adult Femoral Head Avascular Necrosis (FHAVN). For this purpose we described and evaluated different radiological techniques, such as X-ray, Computed Tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), and Nuclear Medicine. Plain films are considered the first line imaging technique due to its ability to depict femoral head morphological changes, to its low costs and high availability. CT is not a routinely performed technique, but is useful to rule out the presence of a subchondral fracture when MRI is doubtful or contraindicated. MRI is unanimously considered the gold standard technique in the early stages, being capable to detect bone marrow changes such as edema and sclerosis. It may be useful also to guide treatment and, as CT, it is a validated technique in follow-up of patients with FHAVN. Nuclear medicine imaging is mostly applied in post-operative period to detect graft viability or infective complications. More advanced techniques may be useful in particular conditions but still need to be validated; thus new research trials are desirable. In conclusion, X-ray examination is the first line approach, but lacks of sensitivity in early stage whereas MRI is indicated. CT easily depicts late stage deformation and may decrease MRI false positive results in detecting the subchondral fracture. However, the role of both Nuclear Medicine Imaging and advanced MR techniques in FHAVN still need to be investigated.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of our study was to retrospectively determine the prevalence and image findings of extraarticular talocalcaneal coalition with os sustentaculum, a type of talocalcaneal coalition that does not appear in current classification systems, in patients with an imaging diagnosis of foot coalition. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study was performed using a database query of radiology reports of ankle and foot CT or MRI examinations performed from August 2001 to November 2013. Eighty-one patients were identified through a keyword search of the database for "talocalcaneal coalition," "tarsal coalition," "coalition," or "os sustentaculum." Imaging features of CT or MRI findings were evaluated. Chart review was used to identify demographic information. RESULTS Extraarticular talocalcaneal coalition with os sustentaculum was diagnosed in 13 patients (nine men, four women), which represents a prevalence of 16.0% (13/81) in all foot coalitions and 24.1% (13/54) in all talocalcaneal coalitions. Four of 13 patients underwent surgical resection, and histology was obtained in three patients. Nine patients who had no history of trauma were symptomatic and all patients with bone marrow edema at the coalition sites on MRI (n = 5) were also symptomatic. Coexisting extraarticular talocalcaneal coalition with os sustentaculum and intraarticular talocalcaneal coalition were observed in 11 of 13 patients. CONCLUSION The os sustentaculum is a component of extraarticular talocalcaneal coalitions and as such is usually related to the presence of symptoms. If a patient with an os sustentaculum has symptoms in the medial talocalcaneal joint area, an extraarticular talocalcaneal coalition related to the os sustentaculum should be considered.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to explore the correlation between bone marrow edema, stage of necrosis, and area ratio of necrosis with the hip pain grading in non-traumatic osteonecrosis of the femoral head. Bone marrow edema grading at all levels and the hip pain grade differences were statistically significant (P < 0.001). Bone marrow edema grading increased by levels of 0, 1, and 2, whereas average pain rating increased as well to 40.73, 104.66 and 143.49. I ~ III period stage of necrosis and the hip pain grade difference was statistically significant (P < 0.001), with the average grade progress pain stage by the death of a rank gradually increased, I period, II period, III period was 57.00, 88.58 and 120.62, respectively. Area ratio of necrosis between 0 ~ 3 were positively correlated with pain, compared the two was statistically significant (P < 0.001), and with the degree of pathological changes is aggravating, increase the average rank of levels of pain. 0, 1, 2 and 3 are 36.88, 98.03, 123.87 and 151.93 respectively. We can choose the treatment method and evaluate treatment effect by considering a patients' degree of bone marrow edema, stage of necrosis and area ratio of necrosis.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Avascular necrosis of hip typically presents in young patients. Core decompression in precollapse stage provides pain relief and preservation of femoral head. The results of core decompression vary considerably despite early diagnosis. The role of MRI in monitoring patients post surgically has not been clearly defined. AIM To study pre and post core decompression MRI changes in avascular necrosis of hip. MATERIALS AND METHODS This is a contiguous observational cohort of 40 hips treated by core decompression for precollapse avascular necrosis of femoral head, who had a baseline MRI performed before surgery. Core decompression of the femoral head was performed within 4 weeks. Follow up radiograph and MRI scans were done at six months. Harris hip score preoperatively, 1 month and 6 months after the surgery was noted. Success in this study was defined as postoperative increase in Harris hip score (HHS) by 20 points and no additional femoral collapse. End point of clinical adverse outcome as defined by fall in Harris hip score was conversion or intention to convert to total hip replacement (THR). MRI parameters in the follow up scan were compared to the preoperative MRI. Effect of core decompression on bone marrow oedema and femoral head collapse was noted. Results were analysed using SPSS software version. RESULTS Harris hip score improved from 57 to 80 in all patients initially. Six hips had a fall in Harris hip score to mean value of 34.1 during follow up (9 to 12 months) and underwent total hip replacement. MRI predictors of positive outcome are lesions with grade A extent, Grade A & B location. Bone marrow oedema with lesions less than 50% involvement, medial and central location. CONCLUSION Careful selection of patients by MR criteria for core decompression provides satisfactory outcome in precollapse stage of avascular necrosis of hip.

High-Energy Extracorporeal Shock Wave for Early Stage Osteonecrosis of the Femoral Head: A Single-Center Case Series. EVIDENCE-BASED COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE 2015; 2015:468090.

Abstract
Our retrospective study assessed the effects of treatment of early stage ONFH with extracorporeal shock wave therapy. 335 patients (528 hips) were treated with shockwave therapy in our institution. Each patient underwent two sessions. The hips were divided into two groups according to whether the lateral pillar of the femoral head (LPFH) was preserved: LPFH and non-LPFH groups. Patients were followed up at 3, 6, and 12 months after the treatment. Most of the patients (83.9% hips) demonstrated pain reduction and improved mobility of the treated joint (visual analogue scale score, P = 0.00006; Harris hip score, P = 0.00091). During the follow-up period, 16 hips failed following femoral head collapse and required hip arthroplasty (2 hips in LPFH group and 14 hips in non-LPFH group). The lesion size decreased after ESWT. However, the differences were statistically not significant (LPFH group, P = 0.091; non-LPFH group, P = 0.087). A significant reduction in bone marrow edema was observed after treatment (LPFH group, P = 0.007; non-LPFH group, P = 0.016). High-energy extracorporeal shock wave therapy resulted in considerable improvement in early stage ONFH, which can effectively relieve pain and improve the function of the hip.

Abstract
Imaging modalities for the diagnosis of osteonecrosis (ON) of the femoral head have been studied extensively, but there have been few reports strictly addressing radiographic evaluation. The purpose of this report is to examine the use and role of (1) plain radiographs, (2) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), (3) computerized tomography (CT), (4) bone scanning, and (5) positron emission topography (PET) for the diagnostic evaluation of ON. Plain radiographs are a mainstay in diagnosis but have very low sensitivity for early ON. MRI is the gold standard for diagnostic evaluation but may not identify subchondral fractures on collapse as well as CT scan or tomogram. Bone scanning should not be used for diagnosis due to its low sensitivity. PET scanning does not have a definitive role in diagnosis yet. Future research should focus on the role of new imaging technologies in evaluation.

Clin Orthop Relat Res 2015; 473:2334-42.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Injury to subchondral bone is associated with knee pain and osteoarthritis (OA). A percutaneous calcium phosphate injection is a novel approach in which subchondral bone marrow edema lesions are percutaneously injected with calcium phosphate. In theory, calcium phosphate provides structural support while it is gradually replaced by bone. However, little clinical evidence supports the efficacy of percutaneous calcium phosphate injections. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES We asked: (1) Does percutaneous calcium phosphate injection improve validated patient-reported outcome measures? (2) What proportion of patients experience failure of treatment (defined as a low score on the Tegner Lysholm Knee Scoring Scale)? (3) Is there a relationship between outcome and age, sex, BMI, and preoperative grade of OA? METHODS Between September 2012 and January 2014, we treated 33 patients with percutaneous calcium phosphate injections. Twenty-five satisfied our study inclusion criteria; of those, three patients were lost to followup and 22 (88%; 13 men, nine women) with a median age of 53.5 years (range, 38-70 years) were available for retrospective chart review and telephone evaluation at a minimum of 6 months (median, 12 months; range, 6-24 months). Our general indications for this procedure were the presence of subchondral bone marrow edema lesions observed on MR images involving weightbearing regions of the knee associated with localized pain on weightbearing and palpation and failure to respond to conservative therapy (> 3 months). Patients with pain secondary to extensive nondegenerative meniscal tears with a flipped displaced component at the level of bone marrow edema lesions, or with mechanical axis deviation greater than 8° were excluded. All patients had Grades III or IV chondral lesions (modified Outerbridge grading system for chondromalacia) overlying MRI-identified subchondral bone marrow edema lesions. Percutaneous calcium phosphate injection was performed on the medial tibial condyle (15 patients), the medial femoral condyle (five patients), and the lateral femoral condyle (two patients). Concomitant partial meniscectomy was performed in 18 patients. Preoperative and postoperative scores from the Knee Injury and Arthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) and the Tegner Lysholm Knee Scoring Scale were analyzed. RESULTS For patients available for followup, the outcome scores improved after treatment. The KOOS improved from a mean of 39.5 ± 21.8 to 71.3 ± 23 (95% CI, 18.6-45.2; p < 0.001) and the Tegner and Lysholm score from 48 ± 15.1 to 77.5 ± 20.6 (95% CI, 18.8-40.2; p < 0.001). However, seven of the 22 patients had poor clinical outcomes as assessed by the Tegner Lysholm Knee Scoring Scale, whereas three had fair results, five had good results, and seven had excellent results. The postoperative Tegner Lysholm score was inversely related to the preoperative Kellgren-Lawrence OA grade (R(2) = 0.292; F (1.20) = 9.645; p = 0.006). We found no relationship between outcome scores and age, sex, or BMI. CONCLUSIONS In a study that would have been expected to present a best-case analysis (short-term followup, loss to followup of patients with potentially unsatisfactory results, and use of invasive cotreatments including arthroscopic débridements), we found that percutaneous calcium phosphate injection in patients with symptomatic bone marrow edema lesions of the knee and advanced OA yielded poor results in a concerning proportion of our patients. Based on these results, we advise against the use of percutaneous calcium phosphate injections for patients with advanced osteoarthritic changes. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level IV, therapeutic study.

Abstract
The adult skeleton is a metabolically active organ system that undergoes continuous remodeling to remove old and/or stressed bone (resorption) and replace it with new bone (formation) in order to maintain a constant bone mass and preserve bone strength from micro-damage accumulation. In that remodeling process, cellular balances--adipocytogenesis/osteoblastogenesis and osteoblastogenesis/osteoclastogenesis--are critical and tightly controlled by many factors, including lipids as discussed in the present review. Interest in the bone lipid area has increased as a result of in vivo evidences indicating a reciprocal relationship between bone mass and marrow adiposity. Lipids in bones are usually assumed to be present only in the bone marrow. However, the mineralized bone tissue itself also contains small amounts of lipids which might play an important role in bone physiology. Fatty acids, cholesterol, phospholipids and several endogenous metabolites (i.e., prostaglandins, oxysterols) have been purported to act on bone cell survival and functions, the bone mineralization process, and critical signaling pathways. Thus, they can be regarded as regulatory molecules important in bone health. Recently, several specific lipids derived from membrane phospholipids (i.e., sphingosine-1-phosphate, lysophosphatidic acid and different fatty acid amides) have emerged as important mediators in bone physiology and the number of such molecules will probably increase in the near future. The present paper reviews the current knowledge about: (1°) bone lipid composition in both bone marrow and mineralized tissue compartments, and (2°) local actions of lipids on bone physiology in relation to their metabolism. Understanding the roles of lipids in bone is essential to knowing how an imbalance in their signaling pathways might contribute to bone pathologies, such as osteoporosis.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The goal of this retrospective study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ibandronate for bone marrow oedema (BMO) syndrome and stress fracture cases, and to demonstrate an additional field of therapeutic importance-the high-performance athlete. PATIENTS AND METHODS This retrospective study included twenty-five high-performance athletes. Sixty per cent of the athletes were European soccer players and 40.0% other high-class international athletes (3 women and 22 men with an average age of 25.0±4.2), with BMO of the lower trunk or extremity diagnosed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The treatment regimen consisted of high-dose vitamin D supplementation and intravenous ibandronate therapy. RESULTS The time between the onset of pain and proper diagnosis of BMO was 106.3±104.1 days. Excellent pain reduction (pain at rest and under strain) and improved mobility was reported within the first two weeks after the first ibandronate administration by sixteen patients (64%). The time from first treatment until return to competition (RTC) was on average 102.6±65.2 days in total. If the time from onset of pain until diagnosis was within 40 days, the RTC was significantly reduced (p≤0.05) to almost 50% (63.8±48.1 days) when compared to the athletes with later diagnosis (124.4±63.2 days). CONCLUSIONS The here-applied therapy regimen of intravenous BPs application and vitamin D supplementation in BMO syndrome has a beneficial effect for high-performance athletes. An early diagnosis and rapid treatment start can reduce the RTC significantly. An optimal bone metabolism with sufficient daily calcium and vitamin D intake is crucial and should not only be strived for the professional but also for the recreational athlete.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to evaluate the utility of frequency-selective fat saturation (FS) T2-weighted images (T2WI) for the detection of bone marrow edema in the mandibular condyle. MR evidence of bone marrow abnormalities was examined on the set of FS T2WI and conventional T1WI or of conventional T2WI and T1WI in 200 patients with temporomandibular joint (TMJ) related pain. Other parameters studied were TMJ effusion, disk displacement categories, and cortical bone abnormalities. The detection rate and area of bone marrow edema by FS T2WI and T1WI were significantly greater than those assessed by conventional T2WI and T1WI. The correlation between bone marrow abnormalities on FS T2WI and T1WI and pain was significantly stronger than with conventional T2WI and T1WI. This study confirms that FS T2WI is useful for the detection of the "edema pattern" in the mandibular condylar associated with TMJ-related pain.

Abstract
In this study we established a bipedal animal model of steroid-associated hip joint collapse in emus for testing potential treatment protocols to be developed for prevention of steroid-associated joint collapse in preclinical settings. Five adult male emus were treated with a steroid-associated osteonecrosis (SAON) induction protocol using combination of pulsed lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and methylprednisolone (MPS). Additional three emus were used as normal control. Post-induction, emu gait was observed, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was performed, and blood was collected for routine examination, including testing blood coagulation and lipid metabolism. Emus were sacrificed at week 24 post-induction, bilateral femora were collected for micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) and histological analysis. Asymmetric limping gait and abnormal MRI signals were found in steroid-treated emus. SAON was found in all emus with a joint collapse incidence of 70%. The percentage of neutrophils (Neut %) and parameters on lipid metabolism significantly increased after induction. Micro-CT revealed structure deterioration of subchondral trabecular bone. Histomorphometry showed larger fat cell fraction and size, thinning of subchondral plate and cartilage layer, smaller osteoblast perimeter percentage and less blood vessels distributed at collapsed region in SAON group as compared with the normal controls. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) showed poor mineral matrix and more osteo-lacunae outline in the collapsed region in SAON group. The combination of pulsed LPS and MPS developed in the current study was safe and effective to induce SAON and deterioration of subchondral bone in bipedal emus with subsequent femoral head collapse, a typical clinical feature observed in patients under pulsed steroid treatment. In conclusion, bipedal emus could be used as an effective preclinical experimental model to evaluate potential treatment protocols to be developed for prevention of ON-induced hip joint collapse in patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The search for surrogate biomarkers of osteonecrosis, a disabling complication of Gaucher disease, has intensified in the last decade. Biomarkers that predict osteonecrosis and monitor the effectiveness of therapies would improve clinical practice and enrich the molecular exploration of this disorder. AREAS COVERED Here we discuss advances in biomarker research with special reference to those biomarkers associated with Gaucher disease and investigated in the context of enzyme therapy. Much progress has been made in the diversification of treatment for the condition and several biomarker molecules, which may ultimately improve risk assessment for osteonecrosis, have been identified. EXPERT OPINION The discovery of prospective biomarkers of osteonecrosis such as CCL18/PARC, CXCL8/IL-8, CCL5/RANTES, CCL3/MIP-1α, CCL4/MIP-1β, particularly during recurrent episodes occurring despite enzyme treatment, has the potential radically to change practices in the management of Gaucher disease and should improve therapeutic monitoring and prognostic evaluation. Ultimately, exploration of this field will provide the basis for a refined mechanistic understanding of pathogenesis.
