Objectives: To elucidate the epidemiology of nontraumatic osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH), and to estimate the annual incidence rate in Japan.
Methods: We examined, over the course of 3 years, personal records and radiographic images from the national registry of documents used for the study of nontraumatic ONFH in patients in Aichi Prefecture, Japan (population: 7.4 million). Those patients not meeting the diagnostic criteria according to the Japanese Investigation Committee for nontraumatic ONFH were excluded from this study.
Results: A total of 285 out of the 327 patients who applied for the national registration of nontraumatic ONFH during the 3-year study met the diagnostic criteria for personal records, radiographic images, and magnetic resonance images. Forty-two patients (12.8%) were not considered to have nontraumatic ONFH. The mean age of patients was 50.4 years, and the male-female ratio was 2.1:1. Nontraumatic ONFH was steroid-induced in 135 cases (47.4%), alcohol-associated in 87 cases (30.5%), steroid-induced and alcohol- associated in 14 cases (4.9%), and idiopathic in 49 cases (17.2%).
Conclusions: The age-adjusted annual incidence of nontraumatic ONFH in Aichi Prefecture was estimated at 138.5 patients.Thus the annual incidence rate in Japan (population 128 million) was 1.91/100,000.

Osteonecrosis of femoral head (ONFH) can be a debilitating disease, for which numerous salvage surgeries have been popularized to halt its progression. The aim of this study was to assess the clinical and radiological outcomes of a single-incision core decompression (CD) technique using trochanteric autograft in ONFH and to determine the prognostic factors of treatment success. Sixty-six hips (41 patients) of Association Research Circulation (ARCO) 1 and 2 ONFH undergoing CD were included in the study with a mean follow-up of 58 months.

Introduction This study evaluated hip joint dynamic instability in patients with non-traumatic osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) with extensive lesions, who had undergone anterior rotational osteotomy (ARO) and high-degree posterior rotational osteotomy (HDPRO), based on the femoral head translation observed by computed tomography (CT) at 0° and 45° hip flexion. Materials and methods Medical records of patients who had undergone transtrochanteric rotational osteotomy for non-traumatic ONFH were retrospectively reviewed to identify patients who had undergone CT examinations six weeks post-operatively. In all, 64 hips (60 patients; 19 men and 41 women), comprising 36 hips treated with HDPRO and 28 hips treated with ARO, respectively, were included.

Abnormal lipid metabolism is increasingly recognized as a contributing factor to the development of osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH). This study aimed to explore the lipidomic profiles of ONFH patients, focusing on distinguishing between traumatic ONFH (TONFH) and non-traumatic ONFH (NONFH) subtypes and identifying potential biomarkers for diagnosis and understanding pathogenesis. Plasma samples were collected from 92 ONFH patients (divided into TONFH and NONFH subtypes) and 33 healthy normal control (NC) participants.

Discrepancies exist between these methods, potentially related to the AP necrosis area. This study evaluated these discrepancies and the extent of AP necrotic lesions.

Histomorphometry is an important technique in the evaluation of non-traumatic osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH). Quantification of empty lacunae and pyknotic cells on histological images is the most reliable measure of ONFH pathology, yet it is time and manpower consuming. This study focused on the application of artificial intelligence (AI) technology to tissue image evaluation.
