Anteroposterior plain sequence from the representative cases. a, b and c show the 2-year, 5-year, and 10-year postoperative anteroposterior plain of a 24-year-old male with the diagnosis of ANFH (Ficat stage IIB) caused by steroid. He was assigned in the CD + BG + BBC group. At 10-year follow-up, the necrotic region progressed slightly. d, e, and f show the 2-year, 5-year, and 10-year postoperative anteroposterior plain of a 26-year-old female, who underwent the treatment of CD + BG because of idiopathic ANFH (Ficat stage IIA). At 10-year follow-up, it showed progressive decrease in the necrotic region and the hip showed significant degeneration
