"Several staging systems for osteonecrosis of the hip exist. The earliest and most commonly used is the Ficat and Arlet classification (1980) which includes x-ray, MRI and bone scan appearances. The Steinberg classification (1995) is similar but quantifies the involvement of the femoral head. The Mitchell classification (1987) is commonly utilised for MRI images. The ARCO classification (2019) encompasses both x-ray and MRI ¹⁰."
