Researchers discover new genetic mutation linked to osteonecrosis of the hip
Scientists at the Research Institute of 9IÖÆ×÷³§Ãâ·Ñ Health Centre (RI-MUHC) have discovered a new genetic mutation linked to osteonecrosis of the hip, specifically the femoral head – the spherical-shaped mass at the top of the femur. This breakthrough could allow doctors to identify and treat the disease before symptoms arise and potentially avoid hip replacements.
