    Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) has an annual prevalence of 15,000 to 20,000 cases in the U.S. and 8.12 million cases in China as of 2013.

    Hip arthroplasty due to ONFH accounts for approximately 10% of all hip arthroplasties in the U.S., with a higher percentage in China.

  • 3

    Early clinical manifestations of ONFH are often atypical or asymptomatic, leading to delayed treatment and potential femoral head collapse.

    This study evaluates the quality and reliability of ONFH-related videos on Bilibili and TikTok, aiming to improve online health communication.

    The research protocol received ethical approval and analyzed publicly available short-video data without involving human subjects.
