The Volumetric method assessed the severity of lesion size with the future collapse better and more predictably than angular measurements. Necrotic lesion volume of 25% is a potential cut off beyond which future collapse of early ONFH can be predicted and aid in the further management. This study can help in solving the mystery behind prediction of collapse in ONFH.
