Abstract

[Objective]To discuss the relation-ship between AAONFH(advanced alcoholic osteonecrosis of femoral head)and extended overdose drinking.[Method]Reviewed 165 cases of total hip arthroplasty,to analyzed the clinical data among 27 AAONFH cases,reviewed the literatures,discussed the pathogenesis of AAONFH and the relation-ship between blood biochemistry and blood cloting funtion and compared the experimental results among literatures.[Result]Theres various factors resulted in osteonecrosis of the femoral head associated with alcohol long-term over intake.Individuals consuming more than 750 ml of alcohol daily were at greater risk of double or half ONFH,Theres no change in biochemical test,but blood clotting funtion in this case would degrade,osteoarthritis of hip would synchronize.[Conclusion]Individuals consuming more than 750 ml of alcohol daily have the potentiality of ONFH;Its no specificity significance in biochemical test,the necrosis extent of the femoral head is relative to the capacity and times of alcohol intake.THR(total hip replacement)is the best treatment for AAONFH,but theres more staxis potentiality in this cases.
