Summary

The purpose of this study is to test the effect of zoledronic acid over 2 years in preventing early collapse and progression of joint dome depression (≥ 2 mm by X-ray) of the femoral head in patients with large (> 30%: criteria according to Kim et al) nontraumatic osteonecrosis.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Patient who agree to clinical trial
  • Patient who are more than 18 years of age
  • Osteonecrosis of the femoral head
  • Steinberg stage I, II non traumatic osteonecrosis of femoral head
  • Necrotic area of > 30% (HJ Kim et al )
  • JIC (Japanese Investigation Committee): C1 or C2 lateral lesion (by X-ray or MRI)

Exclusion Criteria

  • Patients who are pregnant (patients who are of child bearing potential who are not practicing a reliable contraceptive method (oral, subcutaneous, mechanical, or surgical contraception)
  • Patients who have contraindicated condition to zoledronic acid such as chronic renal failure (calculated creatinine clearance less than 35.0 ml/min), severe heart disease such as atrial fibrillation, sensitive to bisphosphonates and hypocalcemia (serum calcium less than 8 mg/dl or 2.0 mmol/L)
  • Patients who have collapsed lesion including subchonral fracture
  • Patients who have multiple lesion of osteonecrosis of femoral head
  • Patients who received other kinds of bisphophonates or anabolic agents before zoledronic acid use
  • Patients with any medical or psychiatric condition which, in the Investigator's opinion would preclude the participant from adhering to the Protocol or completing the trial per protocol
  • Patients who are considered potentially unreliable and patients who may not reliably attend study visits
