Abstract
This study describes the role of core decompression and bone marrow grafting in the treatment of early AVN of femoral head. We performed core decompression using multiple drill holes and then the bone marrow graft is taken from iliac crest and inserted into track created by drilling into the femoral head and neck .We included 50 patients, 62 hips of both sex, in the age group between 18-50 years without any comorbidities and followed these cases for 1 year.

The use of percutaneous autologous bone marrow transplantation in nonunion and avascular necrosis of bone

TL;DR: During the development of normal bone in the young child, osteoblasts and then haematopoietic stem cells progressively colonise the cartilaginous matrix, resulting in its ossification to bone matrix.
