Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Core decompression and autogenous bone grafts are widely used in treatment of early avascular necrosis of femoral head. According to the report, the success rate of this therapy has obvious difference; the reasons may be related to inaccurate puncture location and secondary damnification of repeated puncture. 

OBJECTIVE: To reconstruct three-dimensional model of femoral head necrosis by Mimics software for reappearance of lesions in the necrotic area to realize measurement of necrotic area of the femoral head and estimation of its volume.
METHODS: We restructured images by using multi-slice spiral CT Syngommvvp VE23A workstation, Inspace software and NeuroDSA software. Hip CT data in DICOM format were imported into Mimics 13.0 software systems. Necrotic area of the femoral head was reconstructed with Mimics SimuIation software to truly reproduce the integrated form, scope and stereochemical structure of the necrotic area so as to achieve the measurement of the necrotic area of the femoral head and the volume estimation. We designed the best core decompression channel, simulated core decompression surgery, so that the patients could refer to the best simulated decompression path in the operation of core decompression.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) Among 36 patients (48 hips) with avascular necrosis of femoral head, there were phase I in 8 hips, accounting for 17%, phase II in 28 hips, accounting for 58%, and phase III in 12 hips, accounting for 25%. (2) The volume of necrotic area was (1 475.48±647.342) mm3 in the phase I, (4 571.77±2 344.55) mm3 in the phase II, and (4 836.46±2 969.33) mm3 in the phase III. (3) We simulated the core decompression based on the radius of the sphere of the necrotic area as parameter in the Mimics Simulation software module, and then completely cleared the necrotic area. (4) Surgery can more clearly understand information and stereochemical structure of the necrotic area with Mimics software to simulate the core decompression. It is the theoretical basis of operation.
