<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> 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. The head of femur is the most common bone affected by avascular necrosis. Our aim is to study results of core decompression and bone grafting in avascular necrosis of femoral head.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> The present study was performed at Pravara Rural Hospital, a constituent hospital of Rural Medical Collage at Village Loni, Rahta and district: Ahamadnagar. The study includes patients who underwent core decompression and bone grafting in avascular necrosis of femoral head at Department of Orthopaedics, Pravara Rural Hospital from June 2015 to June 2017.<strong></strong></p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> In our study majority of the patients belongs to the group of 31-40 years and most of them were males. Male female ratio was 4:1. Out of 20 patients, 6 of them were unilaterally involved rest 14 had bilateral involvement. Out of 28 hips of bilateral involvement 6 were grade III and IV Ficat and Arlet. That 6 were not considered as they come in grade III &amp; IV of FICAT &amp; ARLET classification. So we study 28 hips only.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Conclusions:</strong> The average success rate was 82.61% after core decompression and bone grafting. The patients who had less than 60 Harris hip score on presentation had poorer outcome. Patients who had less than 80 degrees of flexion had also poorer outcome.</p><p class="abstract"> </p>

Objective: To compare the clinical effects of marrow core decompression with bone grafting and marrow core decompression with porous tantalum rod implantation in treating avascular necrosis of non-traumatic femoral head. Methods: This prospective study selected 60 patients (74 hips) with avascular necrosis of femoral head admitted to Daping Hospital from January 2018 to March 2019. According to treatment methods, the 60 patients were randomly divided into two groups, i.e. 30 patients in one group were treated by marrow core decompression with bone grafting, and the other 30 patients in the other group were treated with marrow core decompression and porous tantalum rod implantation. Results: All implantation treatments were successful. No significant difference was found in surgical duration, hemorrhage volume and duration of hospitalization stay between the two groups during follow-up. All Harris scores were significantly improved (P<0.05) following treatment compared to those before treatment. The Harris score of patients treated with porous tantalum rod implantation was higher than that of patients treated with bone grafting (P<0.05) after 12 months following treatment and such a difference was significant. Conclusion: The combination of marrow core decompression and porous tantalum rod implantation can better improve the functions of hip joints with early femoral head necrosis than marrow core decompression with bone grafting, and can also prevent articular cartilage from collapsing gradually. doi: https://doi.org/10.12669/pjms.36.6.2176 How to cite this:Peng K, Wang Y, Zhu J, Li C, Wang Z.

BACKGROUND: Avascular necrosis (AVN) of the femoral head is a disease that usually affects patients in the 20-50 year age group of life. The disease progresses with time and if left untreated, it may leads to complete deterioration of the hip joint. Various treatments modalities are available as non-surgical, core decompression alone or with autologous bone graft or PRP or bone marrow aspirate or vascularised bular graft, osteotomies and hip replacement. We planned to evaluate the efcacy of core decompression and autologous bone grafting in the management of AVN of the hip. MATERIALS AND METHODS- We performed a prospective study with 20 patients of 20-50 years age group having cat-arlet stage 1 [8 patients ] and 2a [12 patients]. The study period was from January 2018 to December 2019. All patients were treated with core decompression and autologous cancellous bone grafting. Pre-operative Harris hip score [HHS], plain radiograph and MRI were compared with postoperative ones at different time intervals. RESULTS- Average Follow Up Period Was 12 Months And Average Age Group Of Presentation Was 31.1 Years . Males Were More Affected And Most Common Causes Were Idiopathic And Steroid Use. Average Preoperative Hhs Was 56.20 And Postoperative Hhs Was 80.15. At The End Of 1 Year, 12 Patients Showed Remission, 6 Patients Showed Preoperative Stage While 2 Patients Progressed To Advanced Stage And Required Arthroplasty. CONCLUSION-core Decompression And Autologous Bone Grafting Is Effective Treatment Modality In Early Avascular Necrosis Of Femur Head In Terms Of Radiological And Clinical Results And Delaying Arthroplasty
