Introduction: Avascular necrosis (AVN), most commonly affects femoral head. Etiology may be traumatic or non-traumatic. The goal of treatment is preservation of head of femur in early stages I and II by different hip preserving methods & to delay hip arthroplasty. Aims and Objectives: To evaluate and discuss the results of iliac crest cancellous bone graft enhanced with platelet rich plasma and core decompression in of AVN head of femur grade I and II. Method and Materials: This study was done in Deptt of Ortho., RNT MC & Hospital, Udaipur from 1 Oct. 2016 to 30 Sep. 2018. 25 Patients (38 hips) of both sex and aged between 25 to 50 years with AVN head of femur grade I and II were treated by core decompression with platelet rich plasma enhanced cancellous bone graft. Final results were graded according to Harris hip score. Results: Final Results were 10 hips (26.3%) had excellent, 17 hips (44.7%) good, 7 hips (18.4%) had fair and 4 hips (10.5%) had poor result. There was improvement in mean Harris Hip Scores by 10.1 points (73.1 to 83.2). Conclusion: Pain relief was achieved and probably due to decompression, and curettage of necrotic area. Improvement in Harris hip score and delay the need for THR.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
