TLDR
The typical clinical setting, joint fluid findings, and roentgenographic appearance obviate the need for biopsy of the femoral head, and none of the various forms of therapy seem to alter the two- to four-month course of the syndrome appreciably.
Abstract
Transitory demineralization of the femoral head may occur with accompanying pain and disability. The typical clinical setting, joint fluid findings, and roentgenographic appearance obviate the need for biopsy of the femoral head. None of the various forms of therapy which have been proposed seem to alter the two- to four-month course of the syndrome appreciably.
