Hip survival after plain core decompression alone versus bone morphogenetic protein and/or bone marrow reinjection with core decompression for avascular osteonecrosis of the femoral head: a retrospective case control study in ninety two patients

ConclusionsCD is an interesting non-invasive technique to preserve the native hip after AVN of the femoral head. Reinjection of bone marrow and/or BMP improved CD hip survival.
