Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is caused by the blockage of the blood supply of the femoral head due to by a variety of reasons, resulting in the death of the bone in the femoral head, which is characterized by osteonecrosis occurdead bone resorption-new bone formation. And total hip arthroplasty (THA) is the final choice for the vast majority of these patients. Though treating hard, it is necessary to choose an appropriate head-preserving treatment in the early stage to delay the time of THA.Methods to treat femoral head necrosis varies, however, it is still hard to have a uniform standard until now. Thus, this paper discusses the epidemiological characteristics, related risk factors, pathology, stage, current head-preserving methods and prognostic factors of femoral head necrosis, so as to further enhance clinicians' understanding of osteonecrosis of the femoral head and provide reference to choose more appropriate head-preserving methods for those patients. As demonstrated in literatures, in China, the incidence of non-traumatic ONFH in males is significantly higher than that in females, and it is more common in northern residents and urban residents. In addition, glucocorticoid intake, hyperlipidemia, heavy smoking and alcohol abuse tend to increase the risk of ONFH; Histologically, osteonecrosis and repair of the femoral head occurred after blood supply was blocked; In terms of pathological staging, Ficat staging is the most commonly used and most directly classification method; core decompression, non-vascularized bone grafting, vascularized bone grafting and osteotomy are still the mainstream surgical methods at present. Patient's age, etiology, stage, etc are important factors affecting the prognosis of ONFH. Therefore, surgeons can choose the most appropriate treatment for the patients according to their specific conditions and prognostic factors.
