In this review,concepts concerning etiology and nonoperative and operative treatment methods have been analyzed.This article is based almost exclusively on peer-reviewed studies.The etiology of nontraumatic osteonecrosis of the femoral head may have genetic basis.The interaction between certain risk factors and a genetic predisposition may determine whether this disease will develop in a particular individual.Early diagnosis and intervention prior to collapse of the femoral head is key to a successful outcome of joint-preserving procedures.The rational for use of joint-sparing procedure in the treatment of this disease is based on radiographic measurements and findings with other imaging modalities.The results of joint-preserving procedures are less satisfactory than the results of total hip arthroplasty for femoral head than have already collapsed.New pharmacological measures as well as the use of growth and differentiation factors for the prevention and treatment of this disease may eventually alter our treatment approach,but it is necessary to await results of clinical research with long-term follow-up of these patients.

0.05). Conclusion Compared with the Whiteside′s line, the transepicondylar axis seems to be more reliable to determine the rotational alignment of femoral component in total knee arthroplasty. The posterior femoral condylar angle of the Chinese people is larger than that of the Caucasians. If the widely used way of 3? lateral rotational orientation of the femoral component referring to the posterior condylar surfaces of the femur in total knee arthroplasty is adopted, it tends to produce internal malrotation of the femoral prosthesis after operation.

Objective To evaluate the effect of arthroscopic reshaping procedures on symptomatic discoid meniscus and compare the outcomes between children and adults. Methods The medical records of those who had undergone arthroscopic reshaping procedures for symptomatic discoid meniscus between January 1997 to December 2000 were reviewed. Results Fifty-four patients had been followed up more than 7 years, including 38 children and 16 adults. The average Lysholm score increased from (65.0?10.0) preoperatively to (72.0?10.0) postoperatively. The average 8.2-year follow-up showed no obvious clinical symptoms and signs or osteoarthritis in children. Fourteen knees in adults were found osteoarthritis on X-ray film, of which 6 showed the symptoms and signs of osteoarthritis. Conclusion The midterm efficacy of arthroscopic surgery for symptomatic discoid menisci and the occurrence of postoperative osteoarthritis are related to age and injury course.

Objective To compare the early results of total knee arthroplasty using high flexion (HF) versus standard posterior-stabilized (PS) prosthesis tibial insert. Methods From February 2005 to July 2008, 203 patients (216 knees) underwent total knee arthroplasty using Genesis Ⅱ prosthesis and were randomly distributed into group A (98 patients with 107 knees, HF insert) or group B (105 patients with 109 knees, PS insert). There were no significant differences between the two groups in the preoperative Knee Society score (KSS) knee score, KSS function score, and range of motion. They were followed-up for 1 year and compared using KSS knee score, KSS function score and range of motion. Results 91 patients (98 knees)were followed up in group A, and 94 patients (96 knees) were followed up in group B. The postoperative knee active range of motion was 121.1°±6.9° in group A, and was 118.6°±8.1° in group B. The improvement of knee active range of motion was 17.1°±13.3° in group A, and was 16.1°±18.8° in group B. The postoperative range of passive motion of group A and group B were 127.2°±7.1° and 121.0°±7.8° respectively. The postoperative KSS knee score was 86.9±7.6 in group A, and was 87.5±6.8 in group B. The postoperative KSS function score was 91.2±8.7 in group A, and was 90.1±9.3 in group B. The range of passive motion of groupA was better than that of group B (P <0.05). There were no significant differences between the two groups in other aspects. Complications include deep vein thrombosis (DVT), 4 patients in group A and 3 in group B,wound fat liquefaction, 3 patients in group A and 5 in group B, synarthrophysis, 2 patients in group A and 3 in group B. Conclusion This prospective randomized clinical trial demonstrates no differences between PS and HF in early clinical outcomes, except the range of passive flexion.

BACKGROUNDIt has rarely been reported about the changes of hemoglobin (Hb) and hematocrit (Hct) in elderly patients receiving total knee arthroplasty (TKA) or total hip arthroplasty (THA). This study aimed to evaluate the changes of Hb and Hct after TKA or THA in elderly patients, and analyze its relationship with sex and type of arthroplasty.
METHODSThis is a prospective cohort study, including 107 patients receiving TKA or THA without allogeneic blood transfusion. There were 54 males and 53 females, with a mean age of 69.42 years. Levels of Hb and Hct were examined preoperatively and during the 6 months follow-up after operation.
RESULTSLevels of Hb and Hct decreased postoperatively and reached their minimum points on postoperative day 4. Thereafter, Hb and Hct recovered to their preoperative levels within 6-12 weeks. No significant differences in the levels of Hb and Hct were noticed between different sexes. THA patients showed significantly greater drop in Hb and Hct than TKA patients in the first 4 days postoperatively (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONSLevels of Hb and Hct decreased during the first 4 days after arthroplasty and gradually returned to their normal levels within 6-12 weeks postoperatively. THA may be associated with higher postoperative blood loss than TKA.
