目前有许多骨坏死的分类系统正在使用。使用不同的系统往往会导致混淆,并难以比较不同治疗方法的结果。由于骨坏死的治疗在很大程度上取决于疾病的分期,因此使用有效可靠的分期和分类方法非常重要。本文概述了最常用的系统,以便读者可以更好地理解和比较使用不同分类方法报告结果的研究结果。理想系统的基本特征的概述,使读者能够决定哪些现有的分类系统最好地满足这些目标。
Currently a number of classification systems for osteonecrosis are in use. The use of different systems often leads to confusion and makes it difficult to compare the results of different methods of treatment. Because the management of osteonecrosis is determined in large part by the stage of the disease, it is important to use an effective and reliable method of staging and classification. This article provides an overview of the systems most commonly used so the reader can better understand and compare the outcome of studies that report their results using different methods of classification. The essential features of the ideal system are outlined to enable the reader to decide which of the available classification systems best meets these goals.
