A Five-Year Longitudinal Assessment of Quality of Life and Employment Status in Patients Who Have Osteonecrosis of the Femoral Head Undergoing Femoral Osteotomy: A Multicenter Study

The findings indicate that while recovery of physical function following femoral osteotomy requires an extended duration, significant improvements in QOL and functional capabilities can be achieved. Furthermore, work-related impairments and associated anxiety diminished substantially within five years postoperatively, suggesting that middle-aged patients undergoing femoral osteotomy are often able to resume and sustain employment in the long term.
