How Core Decompression ± Bone Grafting/Biomaterials is performed
This procedure is often used for early-stage avascular necrosis of the femoral head. Autologous cancellous bone, bioactive materials, or vascularized bone can be selected as filling materials (if applicable). Usually, one or more decompression channels are established through small incisions under image guidance to reduce intraosseous pressure and clean up necrotic tissue. Bone or biological materials are implanted as appropriate to support repair. Postoperative monitoring includes pain, bleeding, and lower extremity thrombosis risk. Weight-bearing is gradually restored, with the goal of relieving pain and delaying collapse. The above is general health information, not medical advice; specific information is subject to specialist evaluation and hospital protocols.
