Namely, the clinical results of core decompression alone deteriorate with more advanced lesions.[10] The addition of cancellous bone grafting appears to slightly enhance clinical outcomes if subchondral fracture is present.[11] The addition of demineralized [iqb.es]

• Collapse

  The extent and location of femoral head necrosis on MRIs have been studied as predictors of femoral head collapse. [iqb.es]

If symptoms ensue, repeat imaging and surgical treatment are indicated. [iqb.es]

Furthermore, if no obvious cause of AVN is seen, medical consultation would be a reasonable measure in order to help discern less common etiologies. (See Clinical, Causes, above.) [iqb.es]

Inhibition of the vascular endothelial growth factor may hold promise in preventing femoral head collapse because revascularization compromises bone structural integrity. [iqb.es]
