| Core Tip |
This letter evaluates an in-press study by Chen et al, describing conservative hip preservation in osteonecrosis of the femoral head. The study highlights a high hip-preservation rate and introduces the concept of “survival with collapse”, whereby radiographic progression does not equate to functional decline. This commentary emphasizes appropriate patient selection, radiological predictors, and the value of individualized non-surgical strategies in managing osteonecrosis of the femoral head. |
