Researchers at Department of Orthopedics Release New Data on Thigh Pain (Augmentation of Autologous Platelet-rich Plasma In Hip Salvage In Stages I and Ii of Avascular Necrosis: Randomized Blinded Trial Comparing 3 Surgical Techniques In 82...).

A recent study conducted in Uttar Pradesh, India, examined the management of avascular necrosis (AVN) of the femoral head in its early stages (I and II) without obvious radiological evidence. The study compared three surgical techniques in 82 patients and assessed various outcomes such as pain levels, hip scores, and complications. The results showed that patients treated early had better clinical and radiological recovery. The study suggests that biplanar core decompression and intraosseous platelet-rich plasma injection may be a promising salvage option for AVN patients in the early stages. [Extracted from the article]
