Abstract
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE: A prospective cohort study aimed to evaluate the clinical efficacy of a specific vasoactive herbal formula, Huo Xue Tong Luo capsule (HXTL capsule), for the treatment of patients with asymptomatic osteonecrosis of femoral head (ONFH). METHODS: We evaluated a clinical trial of 55 patients (59 hips) with asymptomatic ONFH (no joint collapse) evaluated by Steinberg staging system and necrosis range classification criteria. Then, they were given HXTL capsule under specific protocol. Among them, 39 males and 16 females with an average age of 36.4 ± 10.1 years were followed up for an average of 4.38 years during treatment. The aggravation of clinical and imaging results was assessed by initial pain and joint collapse. The clinical and imaging outcomes of these patients were compared with those of a historical control group from the literature under critical inclusion criteria. RESULTS: < 0.001). There was no association between joint collapse and multiple key factors of ONFH. Only the location of type C2 necrotic lesions (hazard ratio, 4.12; 95% confidence interval, 2.64-18.91) and the extent of large necrotic lesions (hazard ratio, 3.39; 95% confidence interval, 1.43-16.21) predicted joint collapse. CONCLUSION: As an agent formulated by vasoactive herbals, HXTL capsule with specific protocol is an effective medicine for relieving hip pain and preventing joint collapse in patients with asymptomatic ONFH. THE TRANSLATIONAL POTENTIAL OF THIS ARTICLE: The translation potential of this prospective cohort study is that the initially officially approved clinical indication for HXTL capsule for treatment of ONFH is due to its possible effect of revascularization on angiogenesis of necrosis. It is has been now proven to be effective for a new clinical application.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
