The femoral head receives its blood supply primarily from the medial femoral circumflex artery, with its deep branch being the most important. In a previous study, we performed classical anatomical dissections of 16 hips. We have extended our investigation with a radiological study, in which we aimed to visualise the arteries supplying the femoral head in healthy individuals. We analysed 55 CT angiographic images of the hip. Using 64-row CT angiography, we identified three main arteries supplying the femoral head: the deep branch of the medial femoral circumflex artery and the posterior inferior nutrient artery originating from the medial femoral circumflex artery, and the piriformis branch of the inferior gluteal artery. CT angiography is a good method for visualisation of the arteries supplying the femoral head. The current radiological studies will provide information for further investigation of vascularity after traumatic dislocation of the hip, using CT angiography.
股骨头的血液供应主要来自旋股内侧动脉，其深支最为重要。在之前的一项研究中，我们对16个髋关节进行了经典解剖。我们通过一项放射学研究扩展了调查，旨在观察健康个体中供应股骨头的动脉。我们分析了55例髋关节的CT血管造影图像。使用64排CT血管造影，我们确定了供应股骨头的三条主要动脉：旋股内侧动脉的深支、起源于旋股内侧动脉的后下滋养动脉以及臀下动脉的梨状肌支。CT血管造影是观察供应股骨头动脉的一种好方法。目前的放射学研究将为使用CT血管造影进一步研究髋关节创伤性脱位后的血管情况提供信息。
