Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is a common orthopedic condition that will prompt joint dysfunction, significantly impacting patients' quality of life. However, the specific pathogenic mechanisms underlying this disease remain elusive. The objective of this study is to examine the differentially expressed messenger RNAs (DE mRNAs) and key genes linked to ONFH, concurrently investigating the immune cell infiltration features in ONFH patients through the application of the CIBERSORT algorithm.
