Toward Standardized Reporting in Non-Traumatic Osteonecrosis of the Femoral Head: Recommendations for Clinical Study Design and Reporting

The authors aim to address the significant inconsistencies in clinical studies of non-traumatic osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) by proposing a standardized reporting framework. This framework seeks to enhance transparency, reproducibility, and comparability across studies, ultimately improving the quality of evidence regarding disease progression and treatment effectiveness. The authors emphasize the need for consistent application of these reporting standards to facilitate better interpretation and synthesis of ONFH research findings.
