INTRODUCTION: The causes of femoral head necrosis mainly include trauma, corticosteroid, and alcohol, among which Brucella is highly unusual.
PATIENTS AND METHODS: This paper reported three rare cases of femoral head necrosis due to Brucella, summarizing and analyzing the epidemiological history, clinical manifestations, laboratory examinations, imaging findings, individualized therapy, and biopsy results of patients with this disease. A literature review related to brucellosis and femoral head necrosis was conducted.
RESULTS: All three patients had an epidemic history of brucellosis. They suffered from hip pain and limitation of movement for months, and femoral head necrosis was confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Pathological Giemsa staining or real-time polymerase chain reaction (real-time PCR) confirmed Brucella melitensis (B. melitensis) as the cause of osteonecrosis. Each patient received individualized therapy according to the degree of osteonecrosis, which was based on anti-brucellosis medications and hip puncture and irrigation decompression. They were followed up for more than two years and rehabilitated well.
CONCLUSION: Brucella infection should always be considered the cause of femoral head necrosis for patients with hip pain, especially for those with an epidemic history; early diagnosis and individual stepwise therapy can prevent the progression of osteonecrosis.
