Abstract Background The aim of the study was to evaluate the change of subchondral bone collagen and trabecular bone in the weight-bearing area of femoral head from patients with osteoarthritis (OA) or osteonecrosis of femoral head (ONFH), and discuss the effect of collagen degradation on OA and ONFH. Methods Femoral heads from patients with femoral neck fracture (FNF) were collected as control group. All collected samples were divided into OA group (N = 10), ONFH group (N = 10), and FNF group (N = 10). Differences of subchondral bone collagen were compared through scanning electron microscope (SEM) observation, immunohistochemistry staining, and Masson’s trichrome staining. Alteration of subchondral bone was displayed through hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining and gross morphology. Results SEM results showed that collagen fibers in OA and ONFH group appeared to be thinner, rougher, sparser, and more wizened. Immunohistochemistry and Masson’s trichrome staining results demonstrated that the content of collagen fibers in the OA and ONFH group was obviously less than the FNF group. H&E staining results showed that trabecular bone in OA and ONFH group appeared to be thinner and ruptured. Gross morphology results showed that the degeneration and destruction of cartilage and subchondral bone in OA and ONFH group were severer than FNF group. The characteristics mentioned above in ONFH group were more apparent than OA group. Conclusions This study revealed that degradation of collagen fibers from subchondral bone in the weight-bearing area of femoral head was associated with OA and ONFH, which may help to find new therapeutic strategies of the diseases.

Abstract BackgroundThe positional distribution and size of the weight-bearing area of femoral head in the standing position as well as the direct active surface of joint force can directly affect the result of finite element (FE) stress analysis, however in most studies related separate FE models of femur, the division of this area is vague, imprecise and un-individualized. The purpose of this study was to quantify the positional distribution and size of the weight-bearing area of femoral head in standing position by a set of simple methods, to realize individualized reconstruction of proximal femur FE model.MethodsFive adult volunteers were recruited for X-ray and CT examination in the same simulated bipedal standing position with a specialized patented device. We extracted these image data, calculated the 2D weight-bearing area on X-ray image, reconstructed the 3D model of proximal femur based on CT data, and registered them to realize the 2D weight-bearing area to 3D transformation as the quantified weight-bearing surface. One of the 3D models of proximal femur was randomly selected for finite element analysis (FEA), and we defined three different loading surfaces, and compared their FEA results.ResultsA total of 10 weight-bearing surfaces in 5 volunteers were constructed, they were mainly distributed on the dome and anterolateral of femoral head with crescent shape, in the range of 1,218.63mm2 - 1,871.06mm2. The results of FEA showed stress magnitude and distribution in proximal femur FE models among three different loading conditions were significant differences, the loading case with quantized weight-bearing area was more in accordance with the physical phenomenon of the hip.ConclusionThis study confirmed an effective FE modeling method of proximal femur, which can quantify weight-bearing area to define more reasonable load surface setting without increasing the actual modeling difficulty.

Aim: The aim was to present the surgical technique and clinical outcome in a series of patients treated with gamma-probe-assisted arthroscopic removal of osteoid osteoma in the hip joint. Methods: The case series consisted of 10 patients diagnosed with osteoid osteoma of the hip, who were treated by arthroscopic nidus removal. An endoscopic gamma probe was used intraoperatively to locate the nidus and to control the extent of its removal. Residual osteoma cavities were additionally treated with an arthroscopic radiofrequency ablator. Microfracturing was performed when the osteochondral defect was in the weight-bearing area and osteochondroplasty was done in cases of concomitant cam deformity. Nonarthritic Hip Score (NAHS), Tegner activity score, quality of life questionnaire (EQ-5D) and postoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were used for evaluation before and post-surgery, with a minimum follow-up of 2 years. Results: The relative reduction of the gamma irradiation count immediately after removal of the nidus was 44.9% (range 33.3–54.5%). Postoperatively, all patients experienced prompt pain relief and a significant improvement according to all patient reported outcomes. Control MRI revealed fibro-cartilaginous tissue repair of post-osteoma osteochondral defects in the weight-bearing area; 1 patient showed signs of early degeneration. Conclusions: The results of this case series demonstrated the safety and high efficacy of gamma-probe-assisted arthroscopic removal of the osteoid osteoma from the hip joint. Endoscopic gamma probe was recognised as a very useful device for locating the nidus of the osteoid osteoma exactly and preventing incomplete or excessive removal of the bone.
