Summary
Revitalization of the femoral head in cases of aseptic necrosis was attempted in 13 hips of 11 patients 15–33 years of age. The necrotic bone was replaced by a vascularized pedicular iliac bone graft and free cancellous transplants. The results after an average follow-up of 53 months are satisfying in some cases. The surgical technique used is simple and applicable when a vascularized bone graft is needed in the hip region.
