Abstract:
:This study aimed to determine whether bisphosphonates exert an effect on preventing femoral head collapse after osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) in an animal model and in clinical trials. A systematic literature search was performed for studies published up to January 2017. Twenty-three articles (16 animal studies, seven clinical trials) were included in the meta-analysis. We found that the bisphosphonate group obtained significant improvement in epiphyseal quotients (MD = 15.32; 95% CI, 9.25-21.39) and provided better performance on bone volume (SMD = 1.57; 95% CI, 0.94-2.20), trabecular number (SMD = 1.30; 95% CI, 0.80-1.79), trabecular thickness (SMD = 0.77; 95% CI, 0.10-1.43) and trabecular separation (SMD = -1.44; 95% CI, -1.70 to -0.58) in the animal model. However, the bisphosphonate group did not achieve better results in pain score, Harris score, the occurrence rate of femoral head collapse, or total hip arthroplasty in the clinical trials. In conclusion, despite bisphosphonates significantly improving bone remodeling outcomes in animal models, no significant efficacy was observed in the treatment of ONFH in the clinical studies. Further studies are required to solve the discordant outcomes between the animal and clinical studies.
