Abstract :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.
