Methods: 17 patients in early stage osteonecrosis were operated, 12 males 5 females with mean age 45.3 years old. Were treated decompression autograft harvested from neck. All evaluated an MRI preoperatively, at follow up X-rays hip functional clinical scores. Results: We didn’t observe any both up. returned previous everyday activities, free pain. There was a significant improvement regarding Conclusion: present surgical technique using for treatment The is simply sufficient most midterm cases adding advantage minimal invasing join
