Abstrakt: Purpose: The purpose of this review was to conduct a literature search assessing the efficacy of various conservative treatments of BMES.
Methods: According to the PRISMA guidelines, a literature search was conducted in April 2021 in MEDLINE database via PubMed and Embase to identify original articles describing the results of conservative treatments for BMES of hip and knee published in the last ten years. For each study, information regarding study characteristics, description of the treatment, patient's demographic and clinical data, length of follow-up, clinical outcome measure, disability, adverse events, classification, and extent and of edema on MRI, were extracted.
Results: A total of 12 studies were identified. Two studies described treatment with iloprost, three with hyperbaric oxygen (HBO), two with bisphosphonates, five with extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT). The total number of patients was 351: 34 treated with iloprost, 64 with hyperbaric oxygen, 37 with bisphosphonates, 216 with ESWT. In ESWT studies, treatment with a higher flux density and a higher number of therapy sessions lead to better clinical and radiological scores. In iloprost studies, a more remarkable improvement in the VAS scale was observed in the study on hip patients.
Conclusions: The treatment of idiopathic bone marrow edema is currently not standardized, making it difficult to find data that can be compared in a highly reliable way. The studies available in the literature show promising results as for the possibility to cure bone marrow edema efficiently. Standardized radiological scores for evaluating bone marrow edema area are needed in future studies.
