Glucocorticoid (GC) usage is the most common non-traumatic cause of osteonecrosis of the
femoral head (ON). Despite the strong association of GC with ON, the underlying …

Vascular hypotheses provide compelling pathogenic mechanisms for the etiology of avascular
necrosis of the femoral head (ANFH). A decrease in local blood flow of the femoral head …

Purpose of the study: Osteonecrosis of the hip mostly affects young individuals and often
