Abstract
The vascular system of the femoral head and neck undergoes various transformations during growth which parallel the changes taking place in the proximal femoral epiphysis. It will be recalled that the region from the femoral head to the greater trochanter is entirely cartilaginous initially. The ossification center of the femoral head forms during the first year after birth, and the center of the greater trochanter forms between the third and fifth years on average. These events are associated with numerous changes.
