Title : Core decompression of the femoral head for treating a bone marrow lesion with IntraOsseous BioPlasty® (IOBP®) technique –Case report

Abstract:

53 year female patient with avascular necrosis of right hip complaint of pain and limited hip joint function. After the clinical evaluation and imaging technique minimal invasive surgical operation was indicated. We made hip core decompression with intraosseos bioplasty technique -Arthrex which is a surgical procedure used to treat osteonecrosis, or avascular necrosis (AVN) of the hip. We did drilling one larger hole into the dead bone of the femoral head (top of thigh bone) in order to relieve pressure in the bone. IntraOsseous BioPlasty technique utilizes a core decompression with direct application stem cells – PRP concentrate from bone marrow aspirate using Arthrex Angel System in order to stimulate healing. We used Bone Marrow Aspirate Stem Cell Concentrate (BMAC) which is a component of her bone marrow that contains growth factors and anti-inflammatory proteins which have been shown to promote bone and soft tissue healing as well as reduce symptoms of pain related to injuries, tendinitis and arthritis.

Follow up 3,6 months postoperatively -The IntraOsseous BioPlasty (IOBP®) effectively alleviate pain, improve joint function and delay development of osteonecrosis of femoral head.
