We have operatively treated 26 cases (39 hips) of aseptic necrosis of the femeoral head in our clinic since 1973. The follow-up studies were carried out.
Surgical procedures were as follows, Bone grafting in four hips, rotational osteotomy in four, arthrodesis in two, simple femoral prothesis in three, cup and socket arthroplasty in four, T. H. R. in seven and vascular bundle transplantation in twelve.
The result of the artificial arthroplasty was effective. Recently we prefer to apply vascular bundle transplantation to idiopathic and steroid-induced aseptic necrosis. The results of this procedure seem to be good in the short term follow-up study.
