Excerpt

We read with great interest the article titled “Bone marrow lesion on magnetic resonance imaging indicates the last chance for hip osteonecrosis treated with vascularized fibular grafting before collapse” by Huang et al. and would like to congratulate the authors for their study [1]. The authors conducted a retrospective cohort study to evaluate whether the noncollapsed hips with bone marrow lesion (BML) can benefit from free vascularized fibular grafting (FVFG), and concluded that BML indicates the last chance for a reproducible improvement in the treatment of hip osteonecrosis with FVFG before collapse. …
