Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Alcohol-induced femoral head necrosis is a bone metabolism disease that involves a series of alcoholism-induced pathological changes, including degeneration, necrosis and deposition of adipocytes and osteoporosis, and trabecular collapse in the subchondral bone trabeculae of the femoral head.
OBJECTIVE: To introduce the correlation of osteoblasts and osteoclasts with alcohol-induced femoral head necrosis.
METHODS: The first author searched relative articles in PubMed and CNKI databases published before May 2016 using the keywords of “osteoblast, osteoclast, alcohol-induced ONFH, bone metabolism” in English and Chinese, respectively. 133 literatures were retrieved and 38 literatures were in accordance with the inclusion criteria.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: During the process of bone metabolism, osteoblasts and osteoclasts exhibit interaction in term of cell number and viability. In-depth study on osteoblasts, osteoclasts and their interaction cannot only give insight into the pathogenesis and repair of alcohol-induced femoral head necrosis, but also provide new ideas and strategies for prevention and target treatment of bone metabolic diseases.
