Summary: This study identified 13 differentially abundant miRNAs in the urine of patients with idiopathic osteonecrosis of femoral head (ONFH), indicating their diagnostic and prognostic value as biomarkers for ONFH. The noninvasive nature of urinary miRNAs testing makes it potentially useful for the diagnosis and monitoring of ONFH progression.

Summary: This study aimed to establish a new mouse model of osteonecrosis using angiotensin II combined with asparaginase and dexamethasone, and to study the effects of this drug combination on femoral head osteonecrosis in mice. The results showed that this drug combination can significantly promote necrosis of the femoral head and disrupt the local blood supply.

Summary: A fully automatic deep learning model was developed in this study to detect early-stage ONFH lesions on MRI, showing promising diagnostic performance. The model's AUC was 0.97 with high sensitivity and specificity, and it exhibited good correlation with the ground truth definition. More extensive multicenter studies are needed to further validate and refine the model.

Summary: This study found that serum NAMPT levels were significantly lower in patients with non-traumatic osteonecrosis of the femoral head (NONFH) and were correlated with disease progression and clinical severity. Serum NAMPT may serve as a novel biomarker for diagnosing early NONFH and monitoring disease severity.

Summary: The study indicates the important role of SIRT3 in glucocorticoid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head. Resveratrol can reduce oxidative stress and mitochondrial damage by activating SIRT3, and promote osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs through the AMPK/PGC-1 alpha/SIRT3 axis. Resveratrol administration can prevent GIONFH, enhance SIRT3 expression, and reduce oxidative levels in affected rats.

Summary: ONFH is a debilitating disease that affects young adults with complex pathophysiology and unclear etiology. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial to prevent severe consequences, with hereditary thrombophilia and hypofibrinolysis being associated with ONFH. Anticoagulant treatment can alter disease progression and improve patient quality of life.

Summary: This systematic review provides a comprehensive analysis of the potential roles of extracellular vesicles (EVs) in the diagnosis and treatment of osteonecrosis of femoral head (ONFH). The studies included in the review demonstrated that EVs have promoting effects on proliferation, osteogenic differentiation, and angiogenesis, while inhibiting apoptosis and adipogenic differentiation in ONFH models. Additionally, EVs in blood showed diagnostic potential for ONFH.

Summary: Osteonecrosis of the femoral head, particularly involving the lateral head-neck junction, was confirmed as a major risk factor for spontaneous femoral neck fractures (SFF). The study also found that steroid use and osteoporosis were significant risk factors for SFF. Different causes of SFF were associated with different fracture types. MRI and pathological examinations showed that osteonecrosis in the SFF group predominantly occurred at the lateral head-neck junction.

Summary: This systematic review comprehensively examined the role of EVs in the diagnosis and treatment of osteonecrosis of femoral head (ONFH). The studies showed that EVs have promoting effects on cellular proliferation, osteogenic differentiation, and angiogenesis, as well as inhibitory effects on apoptosis and adipogenic differentiation in ONFH models. EVs in blood also displayed diagnostic potential for ONFH.

Summary: Osteonecrosis of femoral head (ONFH) is a common clinical condition that can be easily diagnosed through imaging examination. However, some rare neoplastic lesions of the femoral head can mimic ONFH, leading to misdiagnosis. We present a case of a 57-year-old male with bone pain in the left hip joint, initially diagnosed as ONFH but later found to be phosphaturic mesenchymal tumor (PMT) through histopathologic analysis. Surgery resulted in significant pain relief, and the patient had an uneventful 1-year follow-up.

Summary: This study found that the level of 4-Hydroxynonenal (4-HNE) is negatively associated with the staging of steroid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head (SIONFH). Lower levels of 4-HNE may serve as a critical biomarker for the progression of SIONFH.

Summary: Osteoporosis is a silent disease with no obvious symptoms, leading to insufficient treatment and preventive measures. The high disability and mortality rates of OP-related fractures impose a heavy burden on individuals and society. Early intervention and treatment are necessary to reduce fracture risk. This review summarizes the research progress of common anti-OP drugs and targeted therapies to promote pharmacological research and novel drug development.
