- 6. Anatomy The hip is a synovial joint with wide range of rotational motion and stability Stability is conferred by its ball and deep socket configuration, acetabular labrum, a strong joint capsule, articular cartilage, and surrounding muscle One of the few inherently stable joints because of its bony anatomy Iliofemoral and pubofemoral ligaments cover hip joint anteriorly. Ischiofemoral ligament covers hip joint posteriorly Byrne DP et al.

- 7. Anatomy: Arterial Supply Medial femoral circumflex artery • Largest, most important contributor • Posterior portion of vascular ring • Supplies superolateral femoral head Lateral femoral circumflex artery • Anterior portion of vascular ring • Supplies inferoanterior femoral head Obdurator artery • Via ligamentum teres • Little supply to femoral head, inadequate in setting of displaced head/heck fractures Ascending cervical arteries • Feeder vessels arising from extracapsular ring • Penetrate capsule • Run parallel to femoral neck towards the head • Lateral vessels provide greatest supply A major concern of femoral head and neck fractures is disruption of the arterial supply, which results in avascular necrosis. In fractures, the intraosseous cervical vessels are disrupted. Trueta J et al. J Bone Joint Surg BR 1953; Ly TV et al. J Boint Joint Surg Am 2008.

AJR 2012 MRI • Obtain if radiographs are negative/equivocal and clinical suspicion is high • More sensitive than CT for evaluating occult fractures • Best for evaluating bone marrow, joint space, osteochondral injuries, early diagnosis and staging of AVN • May be limited in access in an acute ED setting • Technique: Useful MR sequences include the following: coronal STIR, coronal T1, axial dual-echo, axial T2 fat-saturated FSE, axial fat-saturated FSE proton density, sagittal T1, axial T1. • Most useful sequences are coronal STIR (for edema) and coronal T1 (for fracture line) Bone Scan • Indicated for suspected fracture or AVN not demonstrated on plain film, and where MRI unavailable • High sensitivity, but poor specificity • Minimum of 4 hours to perform, and may take up to 24-48 hours • Relatively less useful in osteoporotic patients • Poor spatial localization of fracture lines Disclosures Learning Objectives Organization Anatomy Imaging Osteochondral Subchondral Femoral Neck Intertrochanteric Greater Troch.

Subchondral Insufficiency Versus Osteonecrosis Osteonecrosis • Typically 30s-40s in age • Associated with steroid/alcohol use • 50-70 percent bilateral MRI • T1: Smooth band that is concave to the articular surface, and circumscribes necrotic segments Treatment • No femoral head collapse: conservative treatment • Femoral head collapse: THA or hemiarthroplasty Yamamoto T Clin Orthop Surg 2012; Ikemura S et al. AJR 2010 Subchondral insufficiency fractures are a recently recognized entity that may mimic osteonecrosis of the femoral head.

- 25. Femoral Neck Fractures: Surgical Considerations AVN, nonunion may result from delayed diagnosis • Risk for AVN is greater for femoral neck fractures than for pertrochanteric fractures Young ( < 65) and/or active • Goal: preserve femoral head, avoid osteonecrosis, achieve union Old ( > 75) and/or immobile • Goal: restore mobility and minimize complications Fracture pattern determines treatment • Basicervical fracture treated like intertrochanteric fracture • Nonoperative management associated with higher complication and increased risk of displacement • If nondisplaced, internal fixation preferred • If displaced fracture, elderly, arthroplasty preferred • Most studies find improved function with THA compared to hemiarthroplasty Miler BJ et al.

- 33. Conclusion • Proximal femoral fractures can be classified as femoral head, intracapsular, and extracapsular • Increased concern for AVN and nonunion for intracapsular fractures due to vascular compromise • Important to understand how imaging features reflect underlying mechanical forces and mechanisms of injury, and how these in turn guide management • If a patient has hip pain and negative x-rays, strongly consider further imaging with MRI Disclosures Learning Objectives Organization Anatomy Imaging Osteochondral Subchondral Femoral Neck Intertrochanteric Greater Troch.
