Core Decompression and Cancellous Bone Grafting for Avascular Necrosis of the Femoral Head - Short Term Follow Up

Comparison of Total Hip Arthroplasty and Core Decompression in Avascular Necrosis of the Femoral Head after Taking Temgesic and Norgesic

Background: Osteonecrosis is common after taking Temgesic and Norgesic. This study intended to suggest the preferable surgical treatment in osteonecrosis patients who use these drugs. Methods: Twenty tree patients with hip osteonecrosis who were hospitalized in the Kerman hospitals after using Temgesic and Norgesic were followed for about 14 months from 2008 to 2010 (from a minimum of 2 months ...

efficacy of core decompression of femoral head to treat avascular necrosis in intravenous drug users.

core decompression (cd) of the femoral head is one of the effective treatments of avascular necrosis (avn), especially in the early stages of the disease. to investigate further the value of cd in treating the avn, this study was performed on patients with symptomatic avn with different etiologies who were treated with cd. this study was carried out on 25 patients (with the total number of 37 f...

Clinical Outcome of Arthroscopic Bone-grafting for Avascular Necrosis of Femoral Head: Minimum 2-year Follow-up

Joint-preserving operations for idiopathic avascular necrosis of the femoral head. Results of core decompression, grafting and osteotomy.

We have reviewed 54 hips in 46 patients from 2 to 14 years after a joint-preserving operation for idiopathic avascular necrosis of the femoral head. The choice between core decompression (17 hips), bone grafting (18), rotation osteotomy (15) or varus osteotomy (4) was determined by the stage and location of the area of necrosis. The overall success rate was unexpectedly low at 60%. Core decompr...

Core decompression and conservative treatment for avascular necrosis of the femoral head: a meta-analysis.

Core decompression for avascular necrosis (AVN) of the femoral head continues to be a controversial procedure. Meta-analysis techniques were employed to identify 22 studies with a single surgical core decompression technique. A similar procedure identified eight studies that treated patients conservatively. The success rates for core decompression were 84%, 63%, and 29% for Steinberg stages I, ...
