Article Abstract
Background: Tantalum rods have been used in osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) for several years, while Zimmer trabecular metal implants have been proposed as the best choice. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of a new porous tantalum rod on the treatment of early ONFH.
Methods: From July 2014 to December 2015, 19 patients (21 hips) were treated with Runze tantalum rod, and 20 patients (20 hips) received Zimmer tantalum prosthesis. All patients were followed up for at least 3 years.
Results: There was no significant difference in demographic characteristics and the Harris Hip Score (HHS) improvement between the two groups. Kaplan-Meier analysis did not show any statistically significant difference in survival rates. One case in the Runze group had persistent pain and required conversion to total hip arthroplasty (THA) 8 months post-surgery. Histological evaluations revealed the presence of abundant new bone ingrowth into pores of the tantalum. The osteonecrosis observed in other patients was almost unchanged. At final follow-up, progressive collapse of the femoral head or the apparent joint space narrowing had not occurred.
Conclusions: Compared with the traditional implants, implantation of the Chinese tantalum rod in the treatment of Association Research Circulation Osseous (ARCO) stages I, and II ONFH demonstrated highly encouraging clinical results.

Article Synopsis
- Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) can lead to serious complications like femoral head collapse and hip dysfunction if not treated properly, with core decompression being crucial for early cases.
- A case study of a 34-year-old male patient illustrates that after undergoing core decompression for ONFH, he experienced a subtrochanteric fracture when bearing weight while climbing stairs, leading to further surgical treatment.
- The report emphasizes that factors such as the drill hole's location, the type of insertion (like tantalum rods), and weight-bearing guidelines can influence fracture risk post-surgery, aiming to guide orthopedic surgeons in managing early ONFH.

Controversy remains regarding the optimal treatment for stage III Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH). This study presents, for the first time, the precise treatment of stage III ONFH using the "substitute the beam for a pillar" technique and performs a comparative finite element analysis with other hip-preserving procedures. A formalin-preserved femur of male cadavers was selected to obtain the CT scan data of femur.

The lack of mechanical support in the bone tunnel formed after CD often results in a poor therapeutic effect in ONFH. The n-HA/P66 has excellent biocompatibility and mechanical properties and has been widely used in bone regeneration. The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of n-HA/P66 scaffold treatment in a dog model of ONFH.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the clinical outcomes and efficacy of hip resurfacing arthroplasty (HRA) in patients with osteonecrosis of the femoral head after the failure of porous tantalum rod insertion without rod removal.
Materials And Methods: Conversion to hip resurfacing arthroplasty was performed in 10 patients (11 hips) with a mean period of 14.9 months after the primary surgery.
