Osteonecrosis, also called avascular necrosis (AVN), aseptic necrosis or ischemic bone necrosis, is a disease that causes the death of bone cells. If the process involves the bones near a joint, it often results in a collapse of the joint surface and subsequent arthritis due to an irregular joint surface. The most common causes of osteonecrosis are severe trauma (injuries), which cut off the blood supply to a bone. Corticosteroid medications (such as prednisone, cortisone or methyl prednisolone), mainly when a high dose is used for an extended period. Excessive alcohol consumption Systemic lupus erythematosus.

Osteonecrosis of the femoral head is a pathological process with multifactorial origins, characterized by pain, alteration of the anatomy and biomechanics of the hip and increasing incapacity of the patient. The method of treatment depends on the stage of the disease, the size and location of the lesions, whether the involvement is uni- or bilateral, the patient's age, activity, general health conditions and his life expectancy. The unsatisfactory results obtained by saving the femoral head using the available methods have led in recent years to a renewed interest in this disease and to seek new methods and treatments aimed at stopping its development or even preventing its appearance. . We present a clinical case study of a new method involving decompression of the nucleus combined with the introduction of mesenchymal cells via a specific titanium screw called "SOIB".
