## Abstract Osteonecrosis of the femoral head is a disease in which bone death occurs and usually progresses to articular incongruity and subsequent osteoarthritis. To delay the process of the disease and the conversion to total hip arthroplasty, many surgical techniques have been described. Core d

## 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
## Abstract We present a case of a 34βyearβold white female patient who, 13 years ago, sustained a pathological intracapsular femoral neck fracture on a preβexisting aneurysmal bone cyst. Three months later radiographic and magnetic resonance imaging evaluation revealed both femoral neck fracture a
## Abstract Large skeletal defects of the upper extremity pose a serious clinical problem with potentially deleterious effects on both function and viability of the limb. Recent advances in the microsurgical techniques involved in free vascularized bone transfers for complex limb injuries have dram
