Abstract：BACKGROUND:At present, finite element analysis technology can set up the model, predict diagnosis, treatment design, as wel as surgical plan, and can be used in the treatment of necrosis of femoral head. OBJECTIVE:To sum and discuss recent progress in clinical and experimental research regarding biomechanical study in osteonecrosis of femoral head by using finite element analysis. METHODS:A computer-based retrieval was performed by the authors (Hong Guo-ju and Zhou Guang-quan) in PubMed, Google, SpringerLink, ChinaNational Knowledge Infrastructure databases for literatures published from January 2010 to December 2015. The key words were“(finite element analysis OR finite element) AND (osteonecrosis OR osteonecrosis of femoral head)”. Inclusive criteria:studies with contents closely related to this paper;original papers with reliable topics and evidence;or papers with clear points and al-round analysis and both studies in vitro and in vivo. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:A total of 27 studies were included. The articles in the latest five years related to femoral head osteonecrosis and finite element analysis application were concentrated on. We summarized the latest research progress and problems, including the applied research carried out in the femoral head osteonecrosis clinical cases, innovational skil s, so as to point out the direction of future research in the finite element analysis.
