Abstract
Osteonecrosis, characterized by bone cell death leading to impaired bone recovery, causes challenges in bone homeostasis maintenance. Bone homeostasis relies on the delicate balance between osteoclasts and osteoblasts, encompassing a series of complex and strictly regulated biological functions. Current treatments, including conservative therapies and surgeries, often fall short of expected outcomes, necessitating a reorientation towards more effective therapeutic strategies according to the pathogenesis. In this review, we hierarchically outlined risk factors, emerging mechanisms, and last-decade treatment approaches in osteonecrosis. By connecting mechanisms of bone homeostasis, we proposed future research directions should be focused on elucidating risk factors and key molecules, performing high-quality clinical trial, updating practice, and accelerating translational potential.
