متن کاملEndoscopically assisted core decompression in avascular necrosis of the femoral head.
The authors have used bone endoscopy (medulloscopy) to improve the accuracy of the conventional technique for core decompression and grafting in 36 hips with avascular necrosis of the femoral head. Endocopy was found to facilitate debridement of the necrotic bone and to decrease the risk of perforation of the cartilage during debridement. The endoscopy-assisted technique failed, however, to imp...
