Abstract

Osteonecrosis is a progressive clinical condition with significant morbidity, which primarily affects weight bearing joints and is characterized by the death of the bone or part of it, because of insufficient circulation. The hip is the most common compromised joint. In osteonecrosis of the femoral head, the collapse of the femoral head is a result of mechanically weak bone submitted to a load of weight, and can be associated with incapacitating pain and immobility [1].
