Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The polymorphism of the plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) 4 G/5 G gene has been correlated with susceptibility to osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH), but study results are controversial. The aim of this study was to derive a more precise estimation of the relationship between the PAI-1 4 G/5 G Gene polymorphism and ONFH by performing a meta-analysis. METHODS: The meta-analysis was based...
