Background: Avascular necrosis (AVN) is defined as cellular death of bone components due to interruption of the blood supply; the bone structures then collapse, resulting in bone destruction, pain, and loss of joint function. AVN is associated with numerous conditions and usually involves the epiphysis of long bones, such as the femoral head. In clinical practice, AVN is most commonly encountered in the hip. Early diagnosis and appropriate intervention can delay the need for joint replacement. However, most patients present late in the disease course. Without treatment, the process is almost always progressive, leading to joint destruction within 5 years.Treatment of a vascular necrosis depends mainly on early diagnosis which mainly based on clinical findings, x-ray finding & MRI.A variety of non vascularized bone grafting techniques have been proposed with varying degrees of success as treatment alternatives for osteonecrosis of the femoral head. The success of these procedures may be enhanced using ancillary growth and differentiation factors. Objectives: To treat non traumatic hip osteonecrosis by non vascularized bone graft versus core decompression. Type of the study: A retrospective study. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 72 patients (88 hips) with osteonecrosis of the femoral head between May 2009, and March 2014,divided into two groups . Group A include 34 patients (44 hips) with osteonecrosis of the femoral head who had non vascularized bone grafting procedures done for them . Minimum follow-up was 12 months. We compared the outcomes in this cohort to similar hip number (44 hips) in 40 patients treated with core decompression only (group B). We used Phemister technique to make a window at the posterior aspect of greater trochanter to remove necrotic bone and packed the excavated area with autogenous cancellous bone graft taken from ipsilateral iliac crest or leave it without bone graft (decompression only). Results: We report the result of treatment for femoral head avascular necrosis depending on Ficat classification stage I, II, & III. The minimum follow up was 12 months (12m-36m). The success percentage of hips in our cohort of patients with non vascularized bone grafting group A are 86% (38 of 44 hips), which is higher than group B 63% (28 of 44 hips) with core decompression alone. Conclusions: These procedures core decompression and autogenous cancellous bone graft may defer joint arthroplasty in selected patients & it is more effective than core decompression alone in treating early stages of femoral head osteonecrosis.

Abstract Objective: Core decompression bone grafting usually is used hip-preserving approach for osteonecrosis of femoral head (ONFH). Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is an adjuvant therapy, combined with core decompression bone grafting for ONFH. However, it remains controversial. Therefore, its efficacy was systematically evaluated and meta-analysis in this study.Methods: Literature on core decompression bone grafting for ONFH was retrieved in CNKI, Wan Fang, PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library and Web of Science from inception to March 2021. Review Manager 5.3 software and Stata 12.0 software were used for data synthesis.Results: A total of 10 RCTs were included. The results showed at final follow-up that, Harris hip score was significantly difference in the treatment group, adjuvant therapy with PRP (group A) better than the control group (group B), MD=7.53 [95%CI (5.29,9.77)],P < 0.00001. There was MD=-0.71[95%CI (-0.96, -0.46)], P < 0.00001, of visual analog scale (VAS) of hip pain between the two groups. The excellent and good rate of function of hip was 1.42-fold higher in group A than that in group B, RR=1.42, 95%CI (1.25,1.62), P<0.00001. The progression and total hip arthroplasty were showed improvements, RR=0.37,95%CI (0.21,0.65), P=0.0006 and RR=0.39,95%CI (0.18,0.85), P=0.02, respectively. Begg's and Egger's tests did not indicate publication bias.Conclusion: It was shown that the use of PRP combined with core decompression bone grafting improved the symptoms better than core decompression bone grafting only, and might delay progression and total hip arthroplasty. However, as the study’s limitations, it needed to be fully verified by more large-sample multicenter prospective clinical studies.

Abstract Background: To explore the clinical effect of robot-assisted core decompression combined with bone grafting in the treatment of femoral head necrosis involved in early stage.Methods: This study is a prospective cohort study. The study included 49 patients (78 hips) who attended the Department of Orthopedics and Joint Surgery of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University from August 2019 to February 2021. All the patients suffering Association Research Circulation Osseous (ARCO) II stage of femoral head necrosis underwent core decompression and bone grafting. Among the patients undergoing surgery, 30 patients (54 hips) were treated with traditional surgical methods, and 19 patients (24 hips) were assisted by the made-in-China orthopedic robot system. All operations were performed by the same operator. The baseline data of the two groups of patients, the time of unilateral operation, the number of unilateral X-ray fluoroscopy, the Harris hip score (HHS) at the last follow-up after surgery, the visual analog score (VAS), and the collapse rate at the last follow-up were collected and compared. Results: A total of 41 patients (70 hips) were followed up, including 24 cases (42 hips) in the traditional surgery group and 17 cases in the robot-assisted group (28 hips). The average follow-up time of all cases was (13.9±3.4) months (range: 8-18 months). At the last follow-up, a total of 13 patients (13 hips) suffered femoral head surface collapse, including 11 patients in the traditional surgery group (11 hips) and 2 patients in the robot-assisted group (2 hips). The rate of femoral head collapse between the two groups had statistical difference. The average operation time of unilateral hip in the traditional operation group was (22.5±5.5) min, and (18.2±4.0) min in the robot-assisted group, with significant difference. The number of X-ray fluoroscopy of unilateral hip in the traditional operation group was (14.7±3.1) times, and (10.1±3.1) times in the robot-assisted group, with significant difference. The HHS before surgery in the traditional surgery group was (63.8±3.2) points, and (84.6±3.4) points at the last follow-up,while the preoperative HHS of the robot-assisted surgery group was (65.5±3.5) points, and (85.9±3.1) points at the last follow-up. The HHS at the last follow-up of the two groups were significantly different from those before the operation, but there was no difference between the two groups. The preoperative VAS of the traditional surgery group was (4.8±0.8) points, and (1.7±1.2) points at the last follow-up. The preoperative VAS of the robot-assisted surgery group was (5.0±0.7) points, and (0.9±0.7) points at the last follow-up. At the last follow-up of the two groups, there were significant differences in VAS, and significant difference between the two groups was also detected.Conclusion: Core decompression combined with bone grafting have a definite effect in the treatment of femoral head necrosis at early stage. Compared with traditional surgery, robot-assisted surgery can achieve better short-term results and head preservation rate.

Abstract BackgroundTo report the outcomes of the single approach to double-channel core decompression and bone grafting with structural bone support (SDBS) for osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) and define the indications.MethodsOne-hundred-and-thirty-nine hips in 96 patients (79 males, 17 females; mean age 37.53±10.31 years, range 14–58 years; mean body mass index 25.15±3.63 kg/m2) were retrospectively analysed. The Harris hip score (HHS) was used to assess hip function, and radiographs were used to assess the depth of femoral head collapse. Treatment failure was defined as the performance of total hip arthroplasty (THA). The variables assessed as potential risk factors for surgical failure were: aetiology, Japanese Osteonecrosis Investigation Committee (JIC) type, age, and Association Research Circulation Osseous (ARCO) stage. Complications were recorded.ResultsThe HHS increased from 79.00±13.61 preoperatively to 82.01±17.29 at final follow-up (P=0.041). The average HHS improvement was 3.00±21.86. The combined excellent and good rate at final follow-up (65.6%) was significantly higher than that before surgery (34.5%) (P=0.000). On radiographic evaluation, 103 (74.1%) hips remained stable, while 36 (25.9%) had femoral head collapse or aggravation of ONFH. THA was performed in 18 hips. Thus, the overall femoral head survival rate was 87.05% (121/139). The success rate was adversely affected by JIC type, but not by aetiology, age, or ARCO stage. The only complication was a subtrochanteric fracture in one patient.ConclusionThe SDBS effectively delays or even terminates the progression of ONFH, especially type B and C1. The SDBS is a good option for early-stage ONFH.
