Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the relationship between pain intensity, necrosis stage, and bone marrow edema (BME) in patients with nontraumatic osteonecrosis of the femoral head (NONFH), aiming to clarify the clinical importance of BME.
- Data was collected from 97 patients (149 hips) over two years, assessing BME via MRI classified by severity and comparing it to pain grading and necrosis stages, revealing high rates of BME associated with pain level and necrosis severity.
- Results showed that as pain intensity and necrosis stage increased, the incidence and severity of BME also rose, underscoring BME's strong correlation with worsening conditions in NONFH cases.
