Abstract

BACKGROUND:

Vascularized bone grafting was used in the treatment of osteonecrosis femoral head, which may directly influence the pathologic event of femoral head.

OBJECTIVE:

This paper evaluates hemodynamic changes in osteonecrosis treatment of the femoral head (ONFH) with iliac bone flaps from the lateral femoral circumflex artery ascending branches via digital subtraction angiography.

METHODS:

A total of 48 patients, (31 males and 17 females; 38 at stage II and 10 at stage III), were treated with iliac bone flaps pedicled with the ascending branch of the lateral femoral circumflex artery. DSA was performed on all 48 patients preoperatively and 6 months postoperatively, and 10 years postoperatively on 1 patient.

RESULTS:

Six months after surgery, femoral head blood supplies were distinctly visualized in the selective DSA in 44 cases. 4 patients showed poor or failed vessel pedicle filling in the transplanted bone flaps. Total hip arthroplasty was performed on these 4 patients. DSA was conducted 10 years post-operation in 1 case; the subject showed normal blood supply of the femoral head.

CONCLUSIONS:

The anatomical position of the ascending branch of the lateral femoral circumflex artery was constant. Digital subtraction angiography successfully examined hemodynamic changes in osteonecrosis treatment of the femoral head with vascularized bone flaps.
