PLATELET RICH PLASMA RESULTS IN THE TREATMENT OF FEMUR HEAD AVASCULAR NECROSIS Femur Başı Avasküler Nekroz Tedavisinde Trombosit Zengin Plazma Sonuçları

This study evaluated the effect of local platelet-rich plasma (PRP) administered using a new technique after core decompression in 15 hips diagnosed with femoral head avascular necrosis, particularly in patients with a history of Covid-19. The early results, assessed using Ficat and Harris hip scores, showed improvement in clinical and MR findings, demonstrating the feasibility of PRP treatment in these patients. The study highlights the importance of the intraoperative application method of PRP, although it suggests that long-term results are needed for a more comprehensive understanding.
