The PubMed database was searched using an algorithm comprising relevant MeSH terms including “Osteoporosis”, “femoral head osteonecrosis” AND “management” “diagnosis”.<br /> <strong>Conclusion:</strong> Osteonecrosis is a destructive pathology that eventually results in bone death through loss of blood to the bone, it involves almost every bone including the femoral head while early start of osteoarthritis could ultimately demand hip arthroplasty when non-operative procedures and joint-sparing treatments fail. Nevertheless, recent technological advances in surgical treatment methods have improved outcomes and should help patients recover from this functionally debilitating joint disease.<br />
