Quantifying the Extent of AVNFH
There are numerous methods for quantifying the extent of osteonecrosis of the femoral head.
However, there is no consensus regarding which method is the most reliable.
The purpose of this study was to determine the reliability and prognostic accuracy of “three” commonly used methods for quantifying the extent of osteonecrosis of the femoral head.
Quantifying the Extent of AVNFH
The interobserver and intraobserver agreement was determined for each method
The ability of each method to predict the time to subchondral collapse was analyzed statistically.
Quantifying the Extent of AVNFH
Joint-preserving surgical interventions generally more successful at earlier stages of bon

Quantifying the Extent of AVNFH
Methods: Thirty-nine hips in twenty-five patients who had stage-I or II osteonecrosis of the femoral head, according to the gradi
ng system of the Association Research Circulation Osseous, were independently examined on two separate occasions by three observers of different specialty backgrounds and experience.
Each observer used three methods to quantify the extent of osteonecrosis of the femoral head:
(1) the percentage of femoral head involvement. (2) the index of necrotic extent (3) the modified index of necrotic extent

The percentage of femoral head involvement
first described in 1984 the abnormal signal on T1-weighted images visually estimated on the basis of serial coronal
and sagittal images according to the estimated percentage of the ar
ea involved compared with the area of the entire femoral head, were grouped into three categories,
as <15%, 15% to 30%, and >30%.
The index of necrotic extent
developed by Koo and Kim in 1995
The necrotic arc angles on the midcoronal and midsagittal images were designated A
and B, respectively.
The index of necrotic extent was calculated as (A/180) (B/180) 100

Conclusions
index of necrotic extent, modified index of necrotic extent, and estimation of the percentage of involvement of the femoral head are reproducible and reliable methods for quantitatively evaluating the extent of osteonecrosis of the femoral head.
Furthermore, they are clinically useful for identifying hips at greatest risk for subchondral collapse.
