Vascularised fibular graft in the management of femoral head osteonecrosis: twenty years later.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The management of osteonecrosis of the femoral head ranges from symptomatic therapy to total hip replacement. Conservative treatment is effective only in small, early-stage lesions. Free vascularised fibular grafting has provided more consistently successful results than any other joint-preserving method. It supports the collapsing subchondral plate by primary callus formation, reduces intra-osseous pressure, removes and replaces the necrotic segment, and adds viable cortical bone graft plus fresh cancellous graft, which has osseoinductive and osseoconductive potential. Factors predisposing to success are the aetiology, stage and size of the lesion. Furthermore, it is a hip-salvaging procedure in early pre-collapse stages, and a time-buying one when the femoral head has collapsed.

Technical challenges of advanced hip osteonecrosis managed using a vascularised fibular graft.
Management of hip osteonecrosis in the young is challenging, and femoral head preservation surgery is often preferred. We report the first local case of treating advanced hip osteonecrosis with a vascularised fibular graft in a 26-year-old man who presented with left hip pain after a fall. He was diagnosed with left hip osteonecrosis and underwent core decompression and insertion of a vasculari...
متن کاملFree vascularised fibular graft for post-traumatic osteonecrosis of the femoral head in teenage patients.
Free vascularised fibular grafting has been reported to be successful for adult patients with osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH). However, its benefit in teenage patients with post-traumatic ONFH has not been determined. We evaluated the effectiveness of free vascularised fibular grafting in the treatment of this condition in children and adolescents. We retrospectively analysed 28 hips i...

متن کاملStructural Efficacy of a Novel Porous Tantalum Implant for Osteonecrosis Grafting
Introduction: Vascularized fibular grafting is a promising treatment for femoral head osteonecrosis (ON), the rationale in part being to support the subchondral plate during structural reconstitution of the underlying (weakened) cancellous bone. Unfortunately, donor site morbidity is appreciable, including weakness, discomfort, and sensory abnormalities. An implant made from porous tantalum (He...
متن کاملTreatment of avascular necrosis of the hip by a non-vascularised cortical graft.
This retrospective study describes the long-term results of core decompression and placement of a non-vascularised bone graft in the management of avascular necrosis of the femoral head. We treated 80 hips in 65 patients, 18 by a cortical tibial autograft and 62 by a fibular allograft. The mean age of the patients was 36 years (SD 13.2). A total of 78 hips were available for evaluation of which...
