STEROID-ASSOCIATED HIP JOINT COLLAPSE IN BIPEDAL EMUS.

Steroid-associated hip joint collapse in bipedal emus.

In this study we established a bipedal animal model of steroid-associated hip joint collapse in emus for testing potential treatment protocols to be developed for prevention of steroid-associated joint collapse in preclinical settings.Five adult male emus were treated with a steroid-associated osteonecrosis (SAON) induction protocol using combinati
