Excerpt

Osteonecrosis (ON) continues to be a considerable challenge to orthopaedic surgeons and researchers. There has been no major breakthrough in research of this devastating disease at the basic science and clinical level. However, the recent explosion of molecular technology, advancement of biomaterials, state-of-the-art computing and diagnostic tools, and better defined surgical techniques has increased our contemporary knowledge base. This symposium contains peer reviewed scientific manuscripts selected from the work of international experts across the globe, representing current developments in etiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of ON. …
