ObjectiveFemoral head necrosis (FHN) affects mostly young and active people. The most common operative therapy is core decompression (CD) with optional cancellous bone grafting (CBG). Because little information is available on the long-term results of these procedures, we investigated the effectiveness of CD and CD + CBG in patients with ARCO stage II FHN in terms of postoperative pain, range of motion, patient-reported outcome measures (Harris Hip Score, Hip Disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score, EuroQol 5D, and Short Form 36 Questionnaire), and disease progression. MethodsWe retrospectively compared 11 patients treated with CD alone 48.0 months (range, 26.3-68.5 months) postoperatively versus 11 patients treated with CD + CBG 69.2 months (range, 38.0-92.9 months) postoperatively. All patients were assessed according to a routine clinical protocol involving a clinical examination, questionnaires, and radiological imaging (X-ray and magnetic resonance imaging). ResultsThe clinical and radiological results showed no significant differences between the two groups. Both interventions demonstrated equal results according to clinical scores. ConclusionsOur data may encourage application of the less invasive technique of CD alone without CBG, which is more surgically demanding. Further prospective studies with longer follow-up are necessary to clarify the risk factors for therapy failure.
