Functional Outcome of Management of Avascular Necrosis of Femoral Head by Core Decompression and Non-vascularized Fibular Grafting: A Prospective Observational Study

Abstract

Background: In patients with avascular necrosis of femoral head (ANFH), core decompression (CD) and non- 
vascularized fibular grafting (NVFG) are used in the early stage of ANFH. However, the functional and 
clinical outcomes have not be sufficiently evaluated in Indian population. To evaluate the combined effect of 
CD and NVFG on clinical and functional outcomes in patients with ANFH.
