[Functional pictures in superselective angiography of the femur head vessels].

Abstract

The arterial supply of the femoral head was studied by Hipp. Superselective angiographies in different positions of the hip joint contribute informations especially about the smaller vessels e.g. rami nutritii capitis. Angiographies in different positions of the hip joint were performed in twenty cases. Furthermore the results of functional stress angiographies of five patients, who underwent the transplantation of pedicle bone graft, are reported. These patients had femoral head necrosis. Especially these postoperative examination demonstrates in one case impressive deterioration of the perfusion of the pedicle bone graft in some positions of the joint.
