Case:
A 13-year, 6-month-old boy sustained a Delbet type III femoral neck fracture with postoperative femoral head avascular necrosis (AVN) and subsequent capital femoral physeal separation (CFPS). Preoperative angiography revealed a patent artery of the ligamentum teres to the femoral head epiphysis, allowing our patient to undergo a modified Dunn procedure to maintain this artery and preserve his native hip.
Conclusion:
Preoperative angiography allows for real-time identification of femoral head epiphyseal blood supply in patients with femoral head AVN complicated by CFPS and guides surgical treatment for hip preservation.

Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...
