Background. The number of articles of clinical and basic research for osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is increasing, yet, to our knowledge, there is still a lack of bibliometric analysis on ONFH articles. The purpose of this study was to identify the top 100 cited (T100) articles related to ONFH research and to analyze the characteristics and qualities of these articles. Methods. The T100 articles on ONFH were retrieved from the Web of Science database. The information about each article including citations, titles, authors, journals, countries, institutions, and keywords was recorded for bibliometric analysis. Results. The T100 articles related to ONFH were mainly published from 1991 to 2010 ( n = 70 ) and were originated from 24 countries. The USA, China, and Japan were the most productive countries in this regard. The most prolific institution was the University of Pennsylvania from the USA with 6 publications and 742 citations. The most cited article was published in 1995 by Professor Steinberg ME. The five most frequently occurring keywords were “femoral head,” “osteonecrosis,” “core decompression,” “total hip arthroplasty,” and “follow up.” The keywords like “bone tissue engineering” and “extracorporeal shock wave” have emerged in recent years. Conclusions. The USA, China, and Japan contributed greatly in terms of the T100 articles. The outcomes of core decompression and total hip arthroplasty gathered the most research interests. In recent years, bone tissue engineering and extracorporeal shock wave have become new trends. However, the mechanism of ONFH is still unclear.

The USA, China, and Japan were the most productive countries in this regard. The most prolific institution was the University of Pennsylvania from the USA with 6 publications and 742 citations. The most-cited article was published in 1995 by Professor Steinberg ME.

Abstract Background: This study aimed to determine whether ESWT (extracorporeal shock wave therapy) has an efficient effect on ONFH (osteonecrosis of femoral head) in clinical outcomes and radiography outcomes.Method: Two authors independently searched the papers on the treatment of femoral head necrosis with extracorporeal shock wave in CNKI (China National Knowledge Infrastructure), VIP (China Science and Technology Journal Database), CSPD (China Science Periodical Database) , Pubmed, Embase and Springer databases. Search period from the inception dates to June 2, 2020 and have no limitations in language; Two authors independently conducted Quality evaluation and data extraction for included studies and preformed a meta-analysis with data extracted and calculated by using review manager 5.3.Result: Nine articles with 409 patients were included in this meta-analysis. The pooled results of HHS (Harris hip score) in eight studies with 337 hips show that ESWT achieved higher Harris scores compared to before treatment (MD= -19.95;95% CI: -26.27, -13.64;). The differences were statistically significant (p<0.01). The pooled results of VAS (visual analogue score) in seven studies with 253 hips show that ESWT achieved lower VAS compared to baseline (MD= 2.77;95%CI: 1.88, 3.65;), the differences were statistically significant (p<0.01). the pooled results of lesion of MRI with 164 hips show that ESWT decrease the lesion area of MRI (SMD=1.03,CI: 0.75,1.30,),the differences were statistically significant (p<0.01).Conclusion: ESWT have an effect in pain relief and can improve motion function. It's effect better than surgical groups (core decompression and core decompression with bone grafting). But it may not decrease the lesion area of the femoral head on MRI.

In recent years, there has been an increase in the number of studies on the etiology of femoral head necrosis. We retrospectively reviewed all patients diagnosed with aseptic necrosis of the femoral in the period of 2010-2015. We recorded a total of 230 cases diagnosed with aseptic necrosis of the femoral head, group was composed of 65.7% men and 34.3% women, risk factors identified was 19.13% (post-traumatic), 13.91% (glucocorticoids), 26.52% (alcohol), 3.47% (another cause) and in 36 95% of the cases no risk factors were found. The results of the study based on the type of surgery performed on the basis of stages of disease progression, 8 patients (3.48%) benefited from osteotomy, 28 patients (12.17%) benefited of bipolar hemiarthroplasty prosthesis and 188 patients (81.74%) benefited of total hip arthroplasty. Osteonecrosis of the femoral head is characteristic to young patients between the age of 30-50 years old. Predisposing factors, alcohol and corticosteroid therapy remains an important cause of the disease. Total hip arthroplasty remains the best option for the patients with osteonecrosis of the femoral head.
