Aim: We compared the long-term results of two treatment regimes in avascular femoral head necrosis.
Methods: We performed a retrospective clinical observational study on 19 hips that were operated on by core decompression and autologous bone impaction enhanced with platelet-rich plasma (platelet-rich plasma+bone autograft group). As a control, 13 hips were operated on by core decompression only (decompression group). Joint replacement was evaluated as the primary endpoint of the study, functional results were evaluated according to the Harris Hip Score and bone density measurements were performed.
Results: Prosthesis implantation was significantly less frequent in the platelet-rich plasma+bone autograft group than in the decompression group (p<0.05). In the platelet-rich plasma+bone autograft group, operated hip fun.. View More»
