Conservative treatment results are presented for 328 patients with I-II stages of femoral head avascular necrosis (FHAN) at 3 years follow up term. Uni- or bilateral coxarthrosis was observed in 157 patients. Patients were on intraarticular injections of perfotran (1st group; n=102) or perfotran+dimexide mixture (2nd group; n=226). Clinical and functional hip joint condition was evaluated by Harris Hip Score. Positive dynamics was noted in all patients however in group 2 it was more marked: absence of negative dynamics was recorded in 204 (90.2%) patients; restorative process, by MRI examination results, was noted in 105 (46.5%) patients; significant reduction of pain syndrome was achieved. Algorithm for the management of patients with early stages of FHAN was proposed.
