Case:
We present a 28-year-old female patient who developed left hip pain and was diagnosed with osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ARCO stage II). The patient underwent a basicervical femoral neck rotational osteotomy (BFNRO) combining surgical hip dislocation technique and extended retinacular soft-tissue flap technique. She was followed up for 53 months and exhibited complete repair of the necrotic area, with normal hip range of motion, gait, and excellent hip functional scores.
Conclusion:
The BFNRO procedure, by rotating the necrotic area of the femoral head out of the weight-bearing zone, has the potential to achieve complete repair of the necrotic area.
