Images at 35.0 months of postoperative follow-up of the case in Supplementary Figure a. a) Anteroposterior radiograph of the pelvis. b) Coronal and sagittal CT scans. c) Coronal and sagittal MRI. The femoral head shows mild signs of arthritis but uniform density, with signs of repair in the necrotic area and no collapse occurring.

Imaging examinations showed a marked improvement in the contour of the femoral head in the weightbearing area and the congruency with the acetabulum immediately postoperatively.
