Fig. 2 — Radiographs of a patient in the multiple drilling group (5 l years old, male, and corticosteroid induced). A X-ray, B T2 image on transverse position, C T1 image on transverse position, and (D) T2 image on midcoronal position before surgery showed that the right femoral head had collapsed with osteoarthritis and that the left femoral head had cystic degeneration. The percentage extent of necrotic lesion was categorized to 15–30%. E Patients underwent simultaneous THA and multiple drilling.
