Familial avascular necrosis of femoral head
MONDO:0012126Avascular necrosis of femoral head (ANFH) is a severely disabling disease characterized by progressive groin pain, a limping gait, leg length discrepancy, collapse of the subchondral bone, limitation of hip function and eventual degeneration of the hip joint requiring total hip arthroplasty.
Also known as: aseptic Necrosis of femoral head, aseptic Necrosis of head of femur, familial osteonecrosis of the femoral head, ANFH, ANFH1, avascular NECROSIS of femoral head, primary, avascular NECROSIS of femoral head, primary, 1, avascular Necrosis of femoral head, primary, 1

Oxygen therapy may boost hip procedure for bone death
Disease control Not yet recruitingThis study tests whether adding hyperbaric oxygen therapy (breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber) to a standard hip procedure (core decompression with bone marrow cells) can reduce pain in people with early-stage avascular necrosis of the hip. The trial will enroll 400 p…

Bone density check for new hip implant: will it last?
Knowledge-focused Not yet recruitingThis study will use DEXA bone scans to see how the CoreHip hip replacement stem affects bone density around the implant over two years. Forty adults with hip arthritis or other hip conditions will be enrolled. The goal is to understand if the implant's design helps maintain healt…
