Vascular evaluation after cervical hip fractures in children

Abstract: Femoral neck fractures in children and young adults are rare, but have a high risk of avascular necrosis (AVN) and subsequent gradual collapse of the femoral head. In 2006, we initiated the use of scintigraphy for the diagnosis of vascular impairment after a cervical fracture in children. In the present retrospective case study, we evaluated the effect of the remaining postoperative circulation in the femoral head after fracture in terms of the development of AVN and secondary degenerative changes of the hip j… Show more

“…Risk of AVN increases with age, time interval between injury and reduction, and severity of trauma; however, no correlation has been found with prolonged immobilisation postoperatively (eg, duration of non-weight-bearing, partial or none) 7 8. Although there is no correlation between weight-bearing and AVN, non-weight-bearing can be effective in preventing collapse of the subchondral bone 9. Leg length discrepancy and angular deformities of the femoral neck also raise concerns when dealing with children, especially those under 12 years of age 7.…”
