1 Z. Dewei, Y. Xiaobing From Zhongshan Hospital of Dalian University, Dalian, China HIP A retrospective analysis of the use of cannulated compression screws and a vascularised iliac bone graft in the treatment of displaced fracture of the femoral neck in patients aged < 50 years There is a high risk of the development of avascular necrosis of the femoral head and nonunion after the treatment of displaced subcapital fractures of the femoral neck in patients aged < 50 years. We retrospectively analysed the results following fixation with two cannulated compression screws and a vascularised iliac bone graft. We treated 18 women and 16 men with a mean age of 38.5 years (20 to 50) whose treatment included the use of an iliac bone graft based on the ascending branch of lateral femoral circumflex artery. There were 20 Garden grade III and 14 grade IV fractures. Clinical and radiological outcomes were evaluated. The mean follow-up was 5.4 years (2 to 10). In 30 hips (88%) union was achieved at a mean of 4.4 months (4 to 6). Nonunion occurred in four hips (12%) and these patients had a mean age of 46.5 years (42 to 50) and underwent revision to a hip replacement six months after operation. The time to union was dependent on age with younger patients achieving earlier union (p < 0.001). According to the Harris hip score which was available for 27 of the 30 hips with satisfactory union, excellent results were obtained in 15 (score 90 points), fair in ten (score 80 to 90 points), and poor in two hips ( 80 points). One patient aged 48 years developed avascular necrosis of femoral head six years after operation and underwent total hip replacement. The management of displaced subcapital fractures of the femoral neck, in patients aged < 50 years, with two cannulated compression screws and an iliac bone graft based on the ascending branch of lateral femoral circumflex artery, gives satisfactory results with a low rate of complication including avascular necrosis and nonunion.

Sen et al 9 and LeCroy et al 10 have employed vascularised pedicle grafts, using either the iliac crest or the fibula, with rates of union of between 91% and 100%. However, this technique requires microsurgical facilities and has associated donorsite morbidity. 11 In a previous study, we found that a vascularised iliac crest bone graft based on the ascending branch of lateral femoral circumflex artery was straightforward to use, with little donor site damage and few complications. 11 The blood supply to the femoral head has historically been described as arising from three sources: 12 1) an extracapsular arterial ring located at the base of the femoral neck, 2) ascending cervical branches on the surface of the femoral neck and 3) arteries of the ligamentum teres (Fig. 1). These vessels are damaged in displaced intracapsular fractures with the additional problem of intra-osseous pressure exceeding diastolic blood pressure following intracapsular injury. 13,14 We report the medium-term results following the internal fixation of a displaced fracture of the femoral neck with two cannulated compression screws and an iliac crest bone graft, based on the ascending branch of lateral femoral circumflex artery. We anticipated this approach would prevent the development of AVN and nonunion.

The mean interval between presentation and surgery was 14.8 hours (0 to 48). A total of three patients were lost to follow-up, which was at a mean of 5.4 years (2 to 10). The surgical technique has been previously described. 11 A double-curved 12 cm-long incision was made along the line connecting the anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS) and the lateral margin of the patella, with the proximal end of the incision running along the iliac crest and extending 4 cm beyond the ASIS. Briefly, two cannulated compression screws were inserted with one positioned superiorly in the femoral head and the other inferiorly in the head, passing just above the calcar in order to retain sufficient space for the pedicled graft. The sartorius and the origin of rectus femoris were then partially released and the tensor fascia lata was retracted to expose the ascending branch of the lateral circumflex femoral artery. The separation was extended proximally towards the iliac crest to the origin of the tensor. Part of the iliac crest, approximately 5 cm long and 3 cm wide, was then exposed laterally from the ASIS with a vascular pedicle long enough to enable rotation of the graft to the femoral neck. The anterolateral capsule of femoral head and neck was incised in a t-shape, avoiding the inferior part of the VOL. 96-B, No. 8, AUGUST 2014

An osteotome was used to create a supero-lateral cortical window of approximately 2 cm 2 cm, at the femoral head neck junction. The previously harvested vascularised bone graft was impacted into the femoral neck with dedicated instruments (Shandong Weigao Group, Weihai, China). During insertion, we took care not to compress the soft-tissue cuff containing the vessels to the bone graft. The implantation of the graft was completed with some pressure to achieve solid engagement which was confirmed by slightly moving the hip to confirm that the bone block would not be displaced (Figs 2 and 3). Skin traction was applied post-operatively to the leg to maintain the hip in 30 abduction in a neutral position for three weeks. The patients received prophylactic cephalosporins for 24 hours and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication was used for post-operative analgesia. Active exercises for the quadriceps were initiated 24 hours after operation. Generally, patients could undertake active abduction/adduction exercises of the hip with 20 to 30 repetitions three times each day. Non-weight bearing mobilisation proceeded as comfort permitted and toe-touch weightbearing started three weeks after the operation. Two crutches were exchanged for one 12 months after the operation depending on the radiological findings.16 Patients were reviewed clinically and radiologically at four to six months after the operation. Further radiographs, MRI and the completion of the Harris Hip Score (HHS)17 were performed at 12, 24 and 36 months. Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA) was undertaken at 12 months follow-up. The screws were routinely removed between one year and 18 months after the operation when the completion of healing of the fracture had been confirmed by both three-dimensional CT and MRI (Fig. 4).

4 A RETROSPECTIVE ANALYSIS OF THE USE OF CANNULATED COMPRESSION SCREWS AND A VASCULARISED ILIAC BONE GRAFT 1027 Statistical analysis. This was performed using SPSS 18.0 software (SPSS Inc., Chicago, Illinois) using chi-squared testing. The level of significance was set as a p-value < Results At final follow-up, the mean HHS was 91.4 points (62 to 100) and the outcome was excellent in 15 hips (score 90 points), fair in ten hips (score 80 to 90 points), and poor in two hips (scores 80 points); three patients were lost to follow-up and four developed AVN of the femoral head (HHS < 60 points). The mean limb shortening was 2.1 cm (1 to 2.8). Union of the fracture was achieved in 30 patients (88.2%) at a mean of 18.5 weeks (16 to 24). In four patients, there was no evidence of union at six months after operation. The mean age of these patients was 46.5 years (16 to 20); they subsequently underwent total hip replacement (THR). These were regarded as failures. Younger patients achieved an earlier and a more reliable union (16 to 20 weeks; p < 0.001). One patient aged 54 years at six-years follow-up developed AVN according to plain radiographs, which was confirmed on MRI. Conversion to THR was undertaken. Coxa vara deformity was noted in four patients, defined as a neck-shaft angle of < 120. However, they had satisfactory function. There were no intra-operative complications but two patients had unilateral femoral vein thromboses after surgery, and one patient had chronic donor-site pain. Discussion The management of displaced fractures of the femoral neck in patients aged < 50 years may be complicated by the development of AVN and nonunion, and of coxa vara and limb shortening. 13,14 A variety of treatments have been tried. Lifeso and Younge 18 used internal fixation alone in three of their 28 young patients (mean age 38 years) with one patient developing AVN and another nonunion other patients were treated with corrective osteotomy and THR. Osteotomy has been used to alter the biomechanics at the fracture site to promote healing, both with or without internal fixation, 18 and in some cases with the addition of bone grafting. 19 The rates of AVN and nonunion following the use of osteotomy are between 6% and 42%, and 0% and 45%, respectively. 18 Bone grafting has been used in the treatment of fractures of the femoral neck. 19 Free fibular grafting has also been used with rates of AVN and nonunion of between 0% and 33%, and 0% and 17%, respectively, in patients with a mean age of 37 years (21 to 45). 20 However, this technique requires microsurgical facilities and has significant donor site morbidity. Reconstruction of the blood supply to the femoral head is the key to avoiding AVN and nonunion. 21,22 Our choice of a vascularised bone graft based on the ascending branch of the lateral circumflex femoral artery graft has several advantages: the ascending branch is a mean of 8.5 cm (standard deviation (SD) 3.1) in length, with a mean outer diameter of 3.2 mm (SD 0.9) at the origin, 11 it supplies an area where it is easy to harvest a bone graft with minimal morbidity and which can be easily rotated from the donor to the recipient site, and it does not adversely affect the functional recovery of the hip. The use of cannulated compression screws allows stable fixation with low intraosseous pressures. 23 In our study, reliable bony union was achieved in 30 patients (88%) with only one developing AVN as a late complication. Younger age appeared to be associated with more rapid healing. We consider that two cannulated compression screws for internal fixation and iliac graft based on the ascending branch of lateral femoral circumflex artery is an effective form of treatment in the management of patients < 45 years with displaced subcapital fractures of the femoral neck.
