Abstract

Long-term results (7 to 26 years) after femoral neck and head revascularization were analyzed for 41 patients with degenerative dystrophic hip joint diseases: 27 patients with aseptic femoral head necrosis (AFHN), 9 patients with coxarthrosis, 5 - with cystoid remodeling of adjacent surfaces. Results were assessed by Harris scale. Degree of functional changes in hip joints was determined using computed stabilometry. Indirect proof of implanted vascular bundle vitality were radiologically, CT and MRI detected canals in the femoral neck and head that where the implants had been inserted. It was shown that revascularization was most effective (100 points by Harris scale) in patients with early (pre-radiologic) stage of AFHN and in patients with cystic remodeling.
