Blood supply to femoral head after fracture of femoral neck and its management

Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

The old people often incur a fracture of femoral neck, which is related to poor quality of bone. With the coming of an aging society, the incidence of femoral neck fracture will increase so that the life quality of the aged can be affected. After the fracture of femoral neck, there will be a risk of avascular necrosis of the femoral head. The operative management should vary according to the state of blood supply. This article reviews the applications of SPECT (single photon emission computed tomography) for early diagnosis of avascular necrosis of femoral head for the benefit of clinical orthopedists.
