therapy as a reasonable treatment modality for ONFH.76 Core decompression is a surgical intervention thought to increase blood flow to the femoral head by decreasing intraosseous pressure. It involves using a trephine to remove an 8- to 10-mm core of bone from the lesion

biological effects in the regulation of bone homeostasis,3 few studies have investigated the association of thyroid function and OA. Research has shown that D2 is upregulated in the cartilage of joints affected with OA compared with healthy joints.4,5 These findings suggest that local

therapy (HRT) has been studied in relation to OA in menopausal female patients. One study showed HRT to be associated with a lower prevalence of knee OA in female patients when taken for a year or more.29 An epidemiologic review, however, showed weak evidence
