Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is a destructive condition most commonly affecting young and middle-aged patients. The leading consequence of ONFH is often a significant articular disability. Effective joint-preserving surgical treatments are urgently needed for patients with early stage ONFH when outcomes of treatment are in general better than the advanced stage disease.
