Algorithm for Treatment of Hip and Knee Osteonecrosis: Review and a Presentation of Three Example Cases
Journal Title: Journal of Rheumatic Diseases and Treatment - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
Osteonecrosis (ON) of the hip and knee can be a source of severe morbidity for affected individuals. Although several risk factors and explanations for the pathogenesis of ON have been recognized, there exists little consensus in the literature as to the appropriate clinical management. We present three patients treated at our institution and a treatment algorithm for hip and knee osteonecrosis.
