Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is a progressive, potentially debilitating disorder that leads to femoral head collapse and subsequent degenerative arthritis [1, 5, 6]. This disease affects individuals in the prime of their working lives, usually between 20 and 50 years of age. Bilateral in more than 50% of patients, ONFH often also is multifocal; it can occur not just in the femoral head, but also in the knee, the shoulder, and the talus, among other locations. Its etiology is multifactorial and poorly understood; contributing factors include chronic alcohol abuse, corticosteroid use, hypercoagulable states, and trauma. Inflammatory diseases such as lupus erythematosus and rheumatoid arthritis may also be associated with this condition, as are metabolic abnormalities like hyperlipidemia, Gaucher’s disease, smoking, and certain medications. However, ONFH in many patients is idiopathic, and occurs without any clear etiologic factors. Without intervention, ONFH generally progresses to femoral head collapse, degenerative arthritis and ultimately in many patients, total hip arthroplasty [1, 5, 6]. Mitigation of risk factors, and early diagnosis and treatment prior to femoral head collapse may allow us to retain a patient’s native hip joint. This is especially important in younger and more-active patients. Core decompression, with addition of concentrated cells harvested from the iliac crest improves the outcome for patients with early stage ONFH [1-3, 5]. However, identifying patients with early stage disease is difficult, because patients often do not become symptomatic until the disease is more advanced. There is now evidence that some patients with osteonecrosis have a genetic abnormality in the coagulation cascade, or in one or more biological pathways involved in cell metabolism, tissue formation and repair [4, 7].In the current study, which won the CORR® ORS RAB Award for Orthopaedic Research, Wyles and colleagues [7] shed further light as to why some patients exposed to different risk factors for ONFH develop this condition, and why others may not. As outlined above, it has been previously suspected that metabolic abnormalities may predispose some patients to osteonecrosis. Wyles and colleagues [7] have determined that genetic mutations in Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor-g (PPARG), a key factor in fatty acid storage and glucose metabolism, has an important relationship with the development of ONFH.
