Zusammenfassung

Die atraumatische Nekrose des Hüftkopfes (HKN) ist eine lokal destruierende, das männliche Geschlecht bevorzugende Erkrankung multifaktorieller Genese. Am häufigsten sind Patienten zwischen 35 und 45 Jahren betroffen, die nicht nur hinsichtlich der persönlichen Lebensqualität, sondern auch der beruflichen Belastbarkeit eingeschränkt sind. Da dieser Personenkreis noch mitten im Erwerbsleben steht, ist die HKN v. a. auch von volkswirtschaftlicher Bedeutung. Es ist daher zu fordern, dass sie frühzeitig erkannt und möglichst rasch und minimal-invasiv therapiert wird. Speziell die konservative Therapie wird aktuell sehr kontrovers gesehen und ist daher das Ziel der vorliegenden Übersicht. Hier wird die aktuelle Literatur zur Thematik unter den Kriterien der evidenzbasierten Medizin kritisch geprüft und hinsichtlich ihres Stellenwerts in der Therapie der HKN bewertet.

Abstract

Osteonecrosis of the femoral head is a locally destructive disease with a multifactorial genesis. The majority of patients are men between 35 and 45 years of age, who are increasingly reduced in their quality of life and career. As these patients are in the middle of their careers, osteonecrosis of the femoral head is even of increasing interest for the national economy. It is therefore of major interest to reduce the costs as well as the time for its therapy. Since conservative treatment is discussed controversially, it was the aim to focus on the current literature according to the criteria of evidence-based medicine and to prove the importance of conservative treatment of femoral head osteonecrosis.
