“…It is postulated that one of the reasons why core decompression works is by causing a reduction in intraosseous pressure when the drilling occurs within the femoral head. [66][67][68] The aims are to decompress the avascular lesion, stimulate new bone formation, and avert subchondral collapse and potential arthritis. This can be done with or without the addition of autograft, in the form of a free fibular graft, or allograft, usually in the form of synthetic bone substitutes.…”

A basic understanding of the surgical approach, technique, and potential complications in addition to the types of hardware used is essential in interpreting postoperative imaging of the hip. This article reviews the various surgical approaches to the hip and hardware components in total hip arthroplasty and hip preservation surgery and the potential complications that may arise. The various surgical treatments in the management of acetabular dysplasia and avascular necrosis and the imaging appearances of these on different imaging modalities are also discussed.

Avascular necrosis of bone (AVNB) is reported in two children after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation. Preparation therapy for transplantation included cyclophosphamide and total body irradiation. Corticosteroids, cyclosporine A, and methotrexate were used for graft-versus-host-disease prophylaxis. The possible role of combination therapy in development of AVNB is discussed, but a direct relationship with single agents was not found. However, an early diagnosis is important to institute conservative treatment and prevent irreversible damage to affected joints. Magnetic resonance imaging was found to be more sensitive than plain radiography in early detection of AVNB. Cancer 68:655-659,1991.
