Fabricating patient-specific 3D printed drill guides to treat femoral head avascular necrosis

Abstract Background Femoral head avascular necrosis (AVN), or death of femoral head tissue due to a lack of blood supply, is a leading cause of total hip replacement for non-geriatric patients. Core decompression (CD) is an effective treatment to re-establish blood flow for patients with AVN. Techni...
