title: [Superselective angiography of the circumflex arteries in preoperative evaluation of femoral neck fractures].
abstract: The study of arterial vascularity in the head and neck of the femur is performed as an emergency exploration of femoral neck fractures by means of selective catheterization. The systematization of vascular lesions thus obtained is compared with the anatomical types of fractures. The posteromedial circumflex artery is not injured definitively as a rule, so that conservative osteosynthesis can be preferred to arthroplasty.
