Osteonecrosis, Second Edition is an authoritative, multidisciplinary medical reference covering one of the most challenging conditions in orthopedic and musculoskeletal medicine. Edited by internationally recognized experts Kyung-Hoi Koo, Michael A. Mont, Quanjun Cui, and Lynne C. Jones, this comprehensive Springer publication brings together modern scientific understanding, advanced diagnostic techniques, and contemporary clinical and surgical management strategies.
Spanning 565 numbered pages and 62 chapters, the book examines the complex biological mechanisms underlying osteonecrosis, with special emphasis on osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH), avascular necrosis (AVN), early detection, joint preservation, and reconstruction of advanced disease.
Designed for orthopedic surgeons, joint replacement specialists, radiologists, rheumatologists, and medical researchers, this reference connects fundamental bone biology with practical considerations in clinical decision-making.
Develop a deeper understanding of the vascular, biological, metabolic, and mechanical processes associated with osteonecrosis. The book explores disruption of blood supply to bone, ischemic injury, reperfusion-related mechanisms, and pathological changes that may contribute to structural deterioration and joint collapse.
Important subjects include:
Accurate diagnosis and assessment of disease extent are central to the evaluation of osteonecrosis. This section reviews the role of imaging modalities in identifying bone abnormalities, evaluating lesion characteristics, and assessing disease progression.
Explore established classification systems and their role in describing disease severity, extent of necrosis, and potential progression. The textbook discusses both historical and revised approaches to staging osteonecrosis of the femoral head.
The book critically examines medical and nonsurgical strategies investigated for the prevention or management of osteonecrosis. Particular attention is given to proposed mechanisms, available evidence, uncertainties, and limitations of different interventions.
Gain a structured perspective on surgical techniques aimed at preserving the native hip in selected patients with osteonecrosis. Expert-authored chapters address the principles, rationale, techniques, and clinical considerations associated with different operative approaches.
Advanced osteonecrosis can present significant reconstructive challenges, particularly in younger and more active patients. This section reviews surgical approaches and bearing options used in total hip arthroplasty for patients affected by osteonecrosis.
Although femoral head involvement remains a major focus, this edition also addresses osteonecrosis affecting other skeletal regions and multifocal presentations.
For researchers and academically oriented clinicians, the concluding material examines experimental models of bone necrosis, including animal models used to investigate corticosteroid-associated bone disease and underlying biological mechanisms.
