Скачать или смотреть Drilling Away Hip Pain: Core Decompression

Core Decompression Surgery for Hip #AvascularNecrosis (AVN) - This progressive #hipdisease occurs when blood supply to the hip bone is disrupted, causing bone cells to die and eventually leading to joint collapse if left untreated. #CoreDecompression is one of the most effective early interventions for AVN. This minimally invasive surgical procedure involves drilling a small channel into the affected area of the hip bone to:
Relieve pressure within the bone
Stimulate new blood vessel formation
Reduce pain signals from the affected area
Potentially halt disease progression in early stages
.
Studies show core decompression is most effective in Ficat stage I and II (pre-collapse), with success rates of 80-90% in stage I and 50-70% in stage II. The procedure typically involves:
small incision near hip
Guided drilling under fluoroscopic imaging
Possible addition of bone marrow concentrate, stem cells, or bone grafts
Protected weight-bearing for 6-8 weeks
While not every #AVN patient is an ideal candidate, core decompression offers significant advantages over conservative treatment alone. For many patients, particularly those diagnosed early, this intervention can delay or prevent the need for total hip replacement. Early diagnosis and treatment significantly improve outcomes. If you're experiencing persistent hip pain, especially with risk factors like steroid use, alcohol consumption, or certain medical conditions, don't wait to seek evaluation.
