All patients have ben followed up for 2 to 11 years. Excellent and good rate of operative results was 86. 6%. A long observation indicated that this procedure was superior to the other operations for the osteonecrosis of femoral head. Successful interim and final operative results can warrant its continued use in management of this kind of patients.展开更多

Two patients in the control group but none in the treatment group received hip joint replacement operation during the observation period.Conclusions：Chinese medicine ABDC therapy could effectively alleviate clinical symptoms and improve joint function of patients with SLE-ANFH.The mechanism may be related to its effects on improving high coagulation manner and trend for getting embolism.展开更多
