The hip is the most common location for avascular necrosis of the femoral head (AVN), with an estimated incidence in the United States of 10,000 to 20,000 new cases per year. The current standard of care for early disease is core decompression, with bone marrow injections becoming more commonplace. Hyperbaric oxygen enhances oxygen delivery to tissue, promotes an anti-inflammatory and pro-healing environment, and helps initiate angiogenesis. We believe that these properties of HBO make it a unique tool for AVN and applied it in conjunction with the standard of care for our patient.
髋关节是股骨头缺血性坏死（AVN）最常见的部位，据估计，美国每年有 10000 到 20000 例新发病例。目前早期疾病的标准治疗方法是核心减压，骨髓注射越来越普遍。高压氧增加组织供氧，促进抗炎和促进愈合的环境，并有助于启动血管生成。我们认为 HBO 的这些特性使其成为 AVN 的独特工具，并将其与我们患者的标准治疗方法结合应用。
