Mid-term outcomes of arthroscopic-assisted Core decompression of Precollapse osteonecrosis of femoral head—minimum of 5 year follow-up

Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is a progressive disease that leads to collapse and the development of secondary arthritis. The preferred management of ONFH remains controversial. Arthroscopic-assisted management of ONFH is a new and evolving approach for hip preservation. We hypothesis that arthroscopy is able to improve ONFH outcomes by achieving accurate and minimally invasive decompression while successfully addressing concomitant...
