Purpose The aim of this study was to report the rate of survivorship in patients with osteonecrosis of the femoral head treated with core decompression in association with mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) implantation, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection, and synthetic bone graft. Methods We evaluated 24 hips in 16 patients, according to Ficat classification, treated by core decompression, injection of PRP and MSCs, and backfilling of the core tract with synthetic bone graft. Survivorship was estimated using Kaplan–Meier curves. Results The survivorship of core decompression in association with the procedure is 50% at 75 months of follow-up. The survival rate was 80% for patients in early stage and 28.6% for patients in advanced stage at 75 months. When we compared Kaplan–Meier survival curves of patients in stage III + IV and patients in stage I + II, we noticed that the survival functions are statistically different (p < 0.05, log-rank test), particularly in stage I + II where we had a greater surviving core decompression, in comparison to patients in stage III + IV. Conclusion This technique is safe and good preliminary results were obtained in patients with early stages of the disease with no reported complications. Level of Evidence Level IV, therapeutic case series.

Objectives: Avascular necrosis (AVN) of the femoral head is a pathologic process resulting from interruption of blood supply to bone. The aim of this paper is to describe the technical aspects and outcome of a modified technique of core decompression and bone graft injection for the treatment of AVNFH. Methods: A total of 20 patients (26 femoral head AVN) Ficat stage I to early III were treated using core decompression kit followed by injection with bone graft material. Nine hips were stage III, 16 stage II and 1 stage I. Average operative time was 25[Formula: see text]min. Results: At a median follow-up of 48 months, 20 hips (77%) had almost complete pain relief while pain persisted in 6 hips (23%). All patients who demonstrated clinical response exhibited radiological stabilization of disease. The mean Harris hip score for all patients’ prior and following surgery were 41 and 85, respectively ([Formula: see text]). Conclusions: Femur head decompression using core decompression kit followed by bone substitute injection can result in long-term pain relief and prevent progression of AVN in the majority of patients.
