Computed Tomography Staging of Osteonecrosis of the Femoral Head.

CONCLUSION: In this study, 20.5% of hips classified as ARCO stage I or II on simple radiography were found to be ARCO stage III on CT imaging. When a joint-preserving treatment is considered for early stage ONFH, CT examination is necessary for more precise staging of the disease. PMID: 31571188 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
