## Abstract Traumatic dislocation of the hip results in osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) or avascular necrosis (AVN) in βΌ40% of patients. This highβenergy event causes an ischemic insult to the femoral head that may lead to ONFH. Here, we investigate use of FreeβVascularized Fibular Graftin
## Abstract Free fibular bone grafting is an effective treatment for early osteonecrosis of the femoral head in young patients. However, recipient vessels are often small rendering microvascular anastomosis difficult. We have developed a novel technique using retrograde flow through the branches of
