The effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy on lesion size in early-stage femoral head avascular necrosis
Femoral head AVN is a progressive disease, with femoral head collapse exceeding 40% in a five-year follow-up. This study demonstrated a reduction in lesion size associated with HBOT in early stage femoral head AVN. In our opinion, HBOT is an integral part of the treatment for early-stage femoral avascular necrosis.
