The blood supply of the greater trochanter.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We perfused 16 human femora with a 50% barium sulphate suspension and studied the intra-osseous vessels by microfocal radiography and histology. There were few anastomoses between the vessels of the greater trochanter and those of the adjacent cancellous bone of the shaft. Ischaemia of the trochanter may contribute to nonunion after trochanteric osteotomy.

Avulsion of the greater trochanter and craniodorsal luxation of the hip joint in a cat: importance of precise radiographic evaluation
A traumatic coxofemoral luxation was diagnosed in a 15-month-old European neutered male cat, and on the basis of the radiographic evaluation a closed reduction was performed. Consequently, the cat was presented at the University of Bologna because of the failure of the treatment. A supplementary radiographic exam revealed the concomitant avulsion of the greater trochanter, consequently surgical...
متن کاملUse of auxiliary locking plates for the treatment of unstable pertrochanteric femur fractures.
Pertrochanteric femur fractures are successfully treated by orthopedic surgeons worldwide, but maintaining the reduction status or fixation of the greater trochanter is sometimes difficult in unstable cases in elderly patients. Several biomechanical advantages have been reported in locking plates when compared with conventional plates; locking plates provide angular and axial stability, better ...
متن کاملAnterior trochanteric muscle pedicle graft.
We describe an anterior trochanteric muscle pedicle graft based on the gluteus medius and its neurovascu!ar supply. Vascular injection and anatomical dissection were done in four cadavers to study the blood supply of this pedicle graft. The ascending branch of the superior gluteal artery was found to skirt the rim of the iliac crest to supply the gluteus medius and minimus muscles. The descendi...
متن کاملPercutaneous cerclage wiring, does it disrupt femoral blood supply? A cadaveric injection study.
BACKGROUND A percutaneous cerclage wiring technique has been developed to reduce iatrogenic soft tissue and vascular disruption associated with classic cerclage fixation. OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to evaluate the extent of femoral vascular disruption resulting iatrogenically from the application of two percutaneous cerclage wire loops. METHODS Pairs of cerlage wire loops were...
متن کاملA Rare Anatomical Variation of Sciatic Nerve and its Relationship with Piriformis Muscle
Sciatic nerve is the thickest nerve of the body which is formed by ventral branches of L4, L5, S1, S2 and S3 of spinal nerves as a part of sacral plexus in pelvis. It leaves the pelvis via the greater sciatic foramen below piriformis muscle and descends between the greater trochanter and ischial tuberosity, along the back of the thigh and dividing into the tibial and common peroneal (fibular) n...
