Operative treatment of avascular necrosis of the femoral head after proximal femur fractures in adolescents

Abstract: Purpose Our aim was to assess operative treatment for post-traumatic avascular necrosis of the femoral head (ANFH) in adolescents. Methods Eleven patients with an average age of 17 (range 14-26) years were operated up on for ANFH after proximal femoral fractures. The average interval between injury and reconstructive surgery was four (range two to eight) years. The average follow-up of the entire cohort was 89 (range 48-132) months. Five patients with total ANFH were treated by total hip replacement (THR). Six… Show more

“…Traumatic cases are induced by fractures to the proximal femur. [11] The majority of atraumatic cases are steroid-induced or chemotherapyinduced. [12,13] Other diagnoses leading to THA in adolescent patients include osteoarthritis, juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, congenital deformity of the hip, juvenile osteochondrosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and malignant neoplasm.…”

“…Conversion to THA was not necessary in any of the cases. We had a similar experience with shelf operation as a coverage procedure in combination with the valgus intertrochanteric osteotomy [29,30].…”

“…Migaud et al [11] evaluated 56 hips in 48 patients with a mean age of 32 years (range, 17-56) and a mean follow-up of 17 years (range, [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30]. Pre-operative joint space narrowing was observed in 32 of 56 shelf arthroplasties.…”

“…The intraoperative blood loss and perioperative complications were recorded to assess the hip joint post-operative recovery rate and the imaging stability. The clinical efficacy was evaluated on the basis of the Harris hip score [6]: 90-100 points, excellent or hip joints without pain; 80-89 points, good or hip joints with mild discomfort and substantially unrestricted activities; 70-79 points, fair or hip joints with mild pain and slightly restricted activities; and below 70 points, poor. Imaging stability was evaluated on the basis of Ficat Osteonecrosis Score [7]: in stage I, X-ray reveals that the dead bone is replaced with a new bone and thus indicates significant recovery from necrosis; in Stage II, the X-ray shows that the new bone can support the load-bearing part, without any collapse or any aggravated collapse on the articular surface; in stage III, X-ray indicates that collapse or any aggravated collapse occurred on the articular surface and the condition exacerbates.…”
