Osteonecrosis is unrelated to hip anatomy in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia.


ABSTRACT: Osteonecrosis is a debilitating toxicity associated with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) treatment. A recent report associated interindividual differences in hip anatomy with the development of idiopathic osteonecrosis in adults. To evaluate the impact of hip anatomy on the development of therapy-related osteonecrosis, we retrospectively evaluated the femoral neck-shaft angle, femoral neck offset, and lateral center-edge angle using x-rays of 18 osteonecrosis cases and 46 control children treated for newly diagnosed ALL on a single protocol. Despite adequate statistical power, we found no association between hip anatomy and osteonecrosis. Investigation of other factors contributing to ALL-associated osteonecrosis is warranted.
