Abstract | Osteoradionecrosis (ORN) of the femoral head is an important issue for orthopedists and radiologists in clinical practice. With the rapid development of technological advances in radiation therapy and the improvement in cancer survival rates, the incidence of ORN is rising, and there is an unmet need for basic and clinical research. The pathogenesis of ORN is complex, and includes vascular injury, mesenchymal stem cell injury, bone loss, reactive oxygen species, radiation-induced fibrosis, and cell senescence. The diagnosis of ORN is challenging and requires multiple considerations, including exposure to ionizing radiation, clinical manifestations, and findings on physical examination and imaging. Differential diagnosis is essential, as clinical symptoms of ORN of the femoral head can resemble many other hip conditions. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy, total hip arthroplasty, and Girdlestone resection arthroplasty are effective treatments, each with their own advantages and disadvantages. The literature on ORN of the femoral head is incomplete and there is no criterion standard or clear consensus on management. Clinicians should gain a better and more comprehensive understanding on this disease to facilitate its early and better prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. This article aims to review the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and management of osteoradionecrosis of the femoral head. |
