Journal of the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons, 05/28/09
Harreld KL et al. - Osteonecrosis of the humeral head is considerably less common than osteonecrosis of the hip. The most common risk factor remains corticosteroid use, which accounts for most reported cases. Radiographic staging and measurement of lesion size are predictive of disease progression and can be used to determine appropriate intervention. Recent studies have reported the use of various treatment modalities such as pharmacologics, core decompression with small-diameter drilling, arthroscopic-assisted core decompression, and bone grafting.
