Core decompression with TFL grafting is one of the bone conserving and revascularising options (salvage). This should be tried first. In case of failure there is always option of Joint replacement left to you.

visit your doctor.
Health Tips
Your own bone has no perfect substitute. Therefore choose bone conserving surgery before a joint replacement procedure. It helps drastically if done in ideal cases.
