Effects of bone mineral density at the lateral sclerotic boundary on the femoral head collapse onset in osteonecrosis of the femoral head: A preliminary study

Our results indicated that bone mineral density value at the lateral boundary of necrotic lesion may be associated with the occurrence of subsequent femoral head collapse in pre-collapse stage osteonecrosis of the femoral head.
