Aseptic necrosis of the femoral head (AVN-FH) is the death of bone tissue in the femoral head because of inadequate blood supply; it has been associated with various causes. The degree of destruction of bone architecture and the blood supply network to the femoral head is extremely affected. In many cases, surgery is necessary as valgus osteotomies, varus, Sugioka and others. Core decompression associated with cell therapy was used in this study. A male patient aged 46 is presented here. this patient has history of Diabetes Mellitus, regular alcohol consumption, he was diagnosed with aseptic necrosis of the femoral head left hip with CT scan, and he subsequently underwent surgery by perforated lateral approach trochanteric (Central Decompression) and administration of autologous mononuclear cells. The patient was discharged 48 hours after surgery, with limited support during the first 10 days, and then assisted ambulation. Radiographs were performed at 6 months after implantation. After a year of surgery the patient is discharged and he is instructed to return to his usual social activities, noting no progression of osteonecrosis, thus, non-assisted ambulation is achieved.

Palabras clave : osteonecrosis; perforations; trochanteric; autologous mononuclear cells.
