Presentation
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]
Treatment
If symptoms ensue, repeat imaging and surgical treatment are indicated. [iqb.es]
Etiology
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]
Prevention
Inhibition of the vascular endothelial growth factor may hold promise in preventing femoral head collapse because revascularization compromises bone structural integrity. [iqb.es]
