- Abstract
<bold>Background: </bold>The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical results, survivorship and quick rehabilitation effects of modified surgery of percutaneously drilling and decompression through femoral head and neck fenestration combined with compacted autograft for early femoral head necrosis.<bold>Methods: </bold>We conducted a retrospective cohort study with 83 hips performed percutaneous decompression through femoral head and neck fenestration (Modified group) combined with autogenous bone grafting for early ONFH. For comparison, another 90 hips treated with conventional core decompression with bone grafting (Control group).<bold>Results: </bold>Median follow-up was 36 months (32-44 months). The length of incision, blood loss in operation, incision drainage, operation time and hospital stays in Modified group had better results than those in control group (P < 0.001). There were four cases in Modified group and five cases in control group had complications (P = 0.9). The VAS score and range of hip motion were better in Modified group during hospital stays summarily (P < 0.05). The average Harris score in modified group was higher than the control group at the first month (P = 0.005), while at other time of follow-up the two groups were with similar Harris scores (P > 0.05). There were 22 hips progressed to stage III in Modified group, while 23 hips progressed to stage III in control group (P = 0.89). The clinical success rate in Modified group were 86.7%, compared with that in control group (87.8%) ( P= 0.84).<bold>Conclusion: </bold>Percutaneous drilling and decompression through femoral head and neck fenestration combined with compacted autograft we reported showed an good surgical effect with a quick rehabilitation and had similar short-term effects compared with the conventional core decompression in treatment of early ONFH.
