Abstract Background Disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs DMARDs may interfere with bone healing. Previous studies give conflicting advice regarding discontinuation of these drugs in the perioperative setting. No consensus exists in current practice especially with the newer DMARDs such as Leflunomide Etanercept and Infliximab.

Methods Osteoblasts were cultured from femoral heads obtained from five young otherwise healthy patients undergoing .
