Summary
The authors have applied intraosseous phlebography 38 times in 33 children, in order to assess the extent of damage to the femoral head circulation in fractures of the femoral neck and other disorders. Contrast medium was injected mostly into the epiphysis, but eventually into the metaphysis too. Results of these examinations have been important guidelines in the management of the disease, i.e. if the venous drainage of the contrast medium was delayed or absent, or if the contrast medium was congested in the head, the weightbearing had to be releaved until regenerative signs of the femoral head were seen.
