Outcomes for core decompression with multiple drilling of the osteonecrosis of the femoral head in patients with solid organ transplantation.
CONCLUSION: Although multiple drilling is a safe and minimally invasive surgery, its effect is limited, particularly in solid organ transplantation patients with ONFH due to long-term corticosteroid use. Therefore, solid organ transplantation patients should be closely monitored in terms of ONFH development.
