Mayank AGRAWAL<br />

University College of Medical Sciences Delhi, Mathura (INDIA)<br />

Objective: The objective of this study is to assess the segmental viability of femoral<br />

head and the placement of implants and bone graft accordingly. Methods: Quadrantwise<br />

comparative histological study was done in 22 cases of femoral head, removed<br />

for replacement arthroplasty for fracture neck femur in elderly patients and four<br />

normal head removed from persons in the same age group who died of road-trafficaccident.<br />

Result: Maximum viable cells compatible with bony union, were present in<br />

anteroinferior quadrant and so is the ideal site for implant placement. Maximum dead<br />

cells were found in posterior quadrants. If its to provide vascularized bone graft, it<br />

should be added here.<br />
