ABSTRACT
Objective: It has been observed that the number of patients with hip avascular necrosis who applied to
our clinic after Covid-19 and steroid treatment in Covid-19 treatment has increased. It is emphasized in
the literature that core decompression therapy is effective in early stage femoral head avascular necrosis.
Core it has been emphasized in many publications that the results of intraoperative platelet- rich plasma
(PRP) application after decompression are effective. However, intraoperative the method of application of
platelet- rich plasma (PRP) and its effectiveness in the post-Covid-19 period are not emphasized enough in
the literature. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of local platelet-rich plasma (PRP) administered
using the new technique after core decompression to patients diagnosed with avascular necrosis.
Material and Methods: Local platelet- rich plasma (PRP) was applied to 15 hips diagnosed with femoral
head avascular necrosis after core decompression with a new technique. Early results of the patients were
evaluated with Ficat and Harris hip scores.
Results: An improvement was detected in the early clinical and Magnetic resonance (MR) findings of a total
of 15 hip avascular necrosis patients. Local treatment in patients with avascular necrosis with a medical
history of Covid-19 the feasibility of PRP was demonstrated.
Conclusion: This study shows the importance of the intraoperative application method of platelet- rich
plasma (PRP) and that platelet- rich plasma (PRP) can also be applied to Covid-19 patients. But we believe
long-term results are needed.
