Accordingly, the aim of the current study was to establish a SAON model in bipedal emus, with potentials to bone structural deterioration with subsequent femoral head collapse, a condition seen in SAON patients attributed to similar biomechanics or loading ratio imposed onto the hip joint [23, 24] . Using a combined pulsed LPS and MPS induction protocol previously established for SAON quadrupedal rabbits [11, 13] , the present study established a SAON model in bipedal emus characterized with subchondral bone deterioration and hip joint collapse, an experimental model mimicking human ON often developed at hip joint with femoral head collapse.	./cache/cord-267605-efb10j3u.txt	./txt/cord-267605-efb10j3u.txt
