[Management of early avascular femur head necrosis by implantation of a muscle-bone graft].

Abstract

Authors describe the results of 10 patients operated for avascular necrosis of the femoral head. The first operation was performed in October 1987. The follow-up was in average 41.9 (24-54) months, minimally 2 years. 7 patients improved, 2 deteriorated, 1 was unchanged. The analysis of the results showed that this operation is indicated only in strictly stated conditions.
