Avascular necrosis of the femoral head (AVNFH) is a debilitating disease that requires early intervention to prevent subchondral collapse and irreversible damage leading to premature hip replacement. Patients presenting with AVNFH can have concomitant intra-articular pathology, including femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), that contributes to their hip pain and dysfunction. It is important to restore the native hip anatomy in addition to providing revascularization of necrotic areas to reduce pain, improve function, and maximize efforts to preserve the joint. The purpose of this Technical Note is to describe our preferred arthroscopic approach to core decompression through the femoral neck in combination with femoral osteoplasty to address AVNFH and FAI in a single-staged and minimally invasive procedure.
