title: [Research progress of gene therapy in the treatment of non-traumatic osteonecrosis of femoral head].
abstract: There are many methods of conservative treatment for early non-traumatic osteonecrosis of femoral head, but still lack of a mature and effective treatment. Gene therapy is a new treatment method for non-traumatic osteonecrosis of femoral head in recent years. This article showed that the non-traumatic osteonecrosis of femoral head related to progress and problems on pathogenesy, molecular biology foundation, exogenous theoretical gene,carrier selection and so on, discussed some problems and countermeasure and future applications.
