Core Decompression Combined With Superselective Intra-Arterial Perfusion for Osteonecrosis of the Femoral Head: Prognostic Factor-Driven Analysis of Efficacy.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is a progressive and disabling disease that commonly affects young and middle-aged adults. Without timely treatment, it often progresses to femoral head collapse and hip dysfunction, ultimately requiring total hip arthroplasty. Although core decompression (CD) and superselective intra-arterial perfusion have been applied clinically, their long-term efficacy as monotherapy remains limited, and the clinical value of combining these approaches has not been fully clarified.

Objectives

This study aimed to evaluate the clinical efficacy of CD combined with superselective intra-arterial perfusion in the treatment of ONFH, and to identify key prognostic factors influencing therapeutic outcomes.
