Abstract
Objective
Avascular necrosis of the femoral head is a disease usually seen in middle-aged individuals. Although many aetiological factors have been blamed, there are still aetiological factors that have not been fully elucidated. Although treatment options show a wide range, early and appropriate treatment is of great importance to preserve the hip joint. In our study, we compared the results of core decompression and core decompression combined with bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell implantation in patients with avascular necrosis of the femoral head.
Material method
In this retrospective study, Steinberg stage 1–2 patients operated on for avascular necrosis of the femoral head between 2018 and 2023 were analysed. Separate groups were formed from patients who underwent isolated core decompression and core decompression + bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell implantation. Age, gender, Steinberg staging, aetiology of the disease, follow-up period, progression to hip arthroplasty, Vas scores, Harris hip scores (HHS), and complications were evaluated. Harris hip scores at preoperative and 2-year follow-up periods; VAS scores at preoperative, 3-month, 6-month, 1-year, and 2-year follow-up periods were analysed.
Results
In the study, 44 patients were analysed. While 25 patients underwent core decompression only (group 1), 19 patients underwent core decompression and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell implantation (group 2). The mean age of the patients in group 1 was 39.3 ± 6.5 years, and the mean age of the patients in group 2 was 38.4 ± 6.7 years. The mean follow-up was 31.85 ± 4.4 months in group 1 and 32.2 ± 4.1 months in group 2. Total hip arthroplasty was performed in 2 of the patients in group 1 (one of the patients underwent total hip arthroplasty at month 28 and the other at month 33).
Conclusion
The treatment of avascular necrosis of the femoral head varies according to various staging methods. Early diagnosis of the disease and correct treatment are very important for the patient's quality of life in the future. In our research, we found that patients who received both core decompression and stem cell implantation for early-stage avascular necrosis of the femoral head exhibited decreased pain at the 6-month, 1-year, and 2-year follow-up examinations. Additionally, their hip function improved at the 24-month mark according to the HHS evaluation.
