Description
Dewei Zhao leads an expert panel issuing a 2026 consensus on blood supply in adult femoral neck fractures. Broken femoral necks often starve the ball of the hip joint, causing bone death and failed healing, so surgeons from orthopedics and reconstruction pooled evidence and experience into a vessel-first plan.
The statement maps the head's arterial network, reviews perfusion imaging with digital subtraction angiography as the sharpest tool, and proposes a four-type classification blending CT and angiography findings. Treatments scale with vessel damage, from careful fixation with porous tantalum screws to joint replacement, plus microvascular grafting when supply is fully cut. A scoring system using age, displacement, and vessel injury aims to forecast trouble early.
