[Repair of femoral neck fracture with vascular pedicled periosteum flap transfer in young and middle-aged].

Abstract

OBJECTIVE:

To estimate clinical effect of spin iliac deep vascular pedicled periosteum flap in repairing traumatic femoral neck of theca inside fracture in young and middle-aged.

METHODS:

From April 1993 to September 2001, 12 cases of traumatic femoral neck fracture were given diaplastic operation with fixation of 3 centre hollow pressed bolt and were conducted under os traction bed and "C" arm X-ray machine. Spin iliac deep vascular pedicled periosteum flap was stripped off, and transferred to the front of femoral neck fundus, then transplanted to the narrow inside of fracture through outer open door of articular capsule.

RESULTS:

All patients were followed up for 1-7 years. All fracture healed without femoral head necrosis, but mild arthritis appeared in 7 cases.

CONCLUSION:

Vascular pedicled periosteum flap transfer of young and middle-aged femoral neck fracture, by decompression of femoral neck and reconstruction of blood circulation, can promote the fracture healing and decrease the wound and blood circulation destroy.
