Q

Describe the blood supply to the femoral head?

A

Femoral head has limited blood supply:

  • Profunda femoris
    • Branches medial and lateral circumflex arteries
    • MFCA (main supply)
      • 2 branches
        • Ascends to head
        • Transverse to form cruciate anastomosis
    • LFCA
      • 3 branches
        • Ascending branch to joint capsule
        • Transverse branch to cruciate anastomosis
        • Descending branch
  • Minor contributors
    • Artery of ligamentum teres
    • Nutrient arteries of bone

Q

Describe the blood supply to the femoral neck?

A
  • Primary blood supply enters via capsule
    • Significant because fracture of neck of femur disrupts supply (intracapsular)
    • Extracapsular fractures blood supply maintained
