The controversy regarding the efficacy of core decompression as a treatment for osteonecrosis of the femoral head began with initial reports by Ficat (I), Ficat and Arlet (2), and Hungerford (3,4). These authors reported several series of patients for whom the coring procedure was the preferred ther

Sickle-cell disease (SCD) is the most common cause of avascular necrosis (AVN) of the hip in childhood. It results in significant physical impairment and chronic pain, and often progresses to require hip replacement. Conservative therapy is ineffective. We evaluated whether core decompression can ar
## Abstract MRI of the cartilaginous epiphysis (CE) of piglet femoral head was performed after ischemic damage to study the changes in the CE found on MRI and to correlate these changes with histologic findings. Avascular necrosis of the femoral head was induced with a suture ligature in nine pigle
## Abstract ## Purpose To evaluate whether lineβscan diffusionβweighted imaging (LSDWI) can provide temporal information of epiphyseal ischemia. ## Materials and Methods Ischemia was induced by ligation of arteries of the unilateral femoral head in piglets (__N__ = 25). LSDWI was performed at se
