The radiographic outcomes of a 36 years old man with a long history of drinking and was diagnosed as left femoral head necrosis at Ficat II stage. A1A5 The patient has early femoral head necrosis evaluated by X film and MRI respectively. B1B3 The X film of 3 days after the operation. It shows that the femoral head is in normal shape and the grafted fibula integrates tightly in the channel. C, D The images at 1 and 4 months after operation respectively. E1E3 The images at 2 years after the operation. F1F3 The images at 5 years after the operation, which shows the stability of the articular cartilage and femoral head. G1G3 The images at 8.2 years after the operation. The femoral head is not progressed and keeps in good shape. The left femoral head was in Ficat I stage and the Harris score was 90 at the last follow-up
