Hyperbaric oxygen therapy modulates serum OPG/RANKL in femoral head necrosis patients
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) has beneficial effects on avascular necrosis of femoral head (ANFH), but its mechanism of action is still unclear. We investigated if HBOT upregulates serum osteoprotegerin (OPG) and/or inhibits osteoclast activation. 23 patients with unilateral ANFH at stage I, II and III consented to thestudy: the patients received standard HBOT. Serum OPG …
