| Core Tip |
Conservative treatment for osteonecrosis of the femoral head has long been limited by inconsistent outcomes and unclear indications. Emerging long-term evidence demonstrates that radiological stability – particularly in patients with limited lesion extent and minimal collapse – can translate into durable functional preservation. This editorial synthesizes multisource data to re-evaluate the role of conservative management, emphasizing stage-specific assessment, precise patient selection, and predictors of treatment durability. A deeper integration of imaging progression patterns with functional trajectories may refine future therapeutic algorithms and support a more individualized approach to hip preservation. |
