Abstract

Rohith Daniel

Avascular necrosis of the femoral head is a condition affecting people between ages 30 and 50 years, most often bilateral. Core decompression with bone grafting is a commonly done procedure in early stages of avascular necrosis to prevent its further progression. Very few studies on this issue have been done in India. This study aims to determine the functional outcome of core decompression with fibular grafting in different stages of avascular necrosis femoral head.
