Natural collapse course of ARCO Ⅱ stage osteonecrosis of the femoral head based on China-Japan Friendship Hospital classification / 中国组织工程研究

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:Osteonecrosis of the femoral head is one of the refractory diseases in orthopedic diseases.The natural collapse course of osteonecrosis of the femoral head under different stages and types affects the progression and prognosis of the disease. OBJECTIVE:To explore the progression of natural collapse within 5 years in patients under the different classifications of China-Japan Friendship Hospital(CJFH)with stage Ⅱ osteonecrosis of the International Association for Research Circulation Osseous(ARCO),and to analyze the collapse rate and collapse risk of the femoral head under the different classifications of CJFH. METHODS:A retrospective study was performed to select patients diagnosed with ARCO Ⅱ stage osteonecrosis of the femoral head without collapse in the Honghui Hospital Affiliated to Xi'an Jiaotong University from October 2016 to October 2017.According to whether it collapsed,the number of hips was divided into the collapse group(n=82)and the non-collapsed group(n=70).The collapse risk of patients with osteonecrosis of the femoral head under different CJFH classifications,as well as the collapse time,number of collapses,and collapse rate within 5 years were counted,and then the Kaplan-Meier survival curve of the femoral head under different classification of CJFH was plotted. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)A total of 97 patients with 152 hips were enrolled,and 82 hips collapsed during the follow-up period,with a total collapse rate of 53.9%,of which the collapse rates of M type,C type,L1 type,L2 type,and L3 type were 0.0%,36.7%,51.4%,72.2%,and 77.8%,respectively,and the comparison between the groups was statistically significant(P<0.05).(2)In terms of collapse risk,the collapse risk of L1 type was 1.704 times that of C-type(P>0.05),while the collapse risks of L2 type and L3 type were 3.866 times and 6.423 times that of C type(P<0.05),respectively.(3)In terms of the Kaplan-Meier survival curve,the median survival time of the femoral head of ARCO Ⅱ stage patients was 3 years,with a 95%confidence interval of 2.885-3.471 years,and the survival rates of the femoral head at the first,third and fifth years were 65.1%(99/152),50.7%(77/152),and 46.1%(70/152),respectively.(4)These findings conclude that different CJFH classifications affect the collapse rate of ARCO Ⅱ stage osteonecrosis of the femoral head patients,among which L3 type patients have the highest collapse rate,followed by L2 type and L1 type patients;C type patients have a lower collapse rate,and M type patients do not collapse,which indicates that the preservation of the lateral column of the femoral head is of great significance for the natural collapse course of osteonecrosis of the femoral head.
