Since the recent publication of studies of the vascular pattern of the proximal femoral epiphysis in man by Tucker (1949), Trueta and Harrison (1953), Judet, Judet, Lagrange and Dunoyer (1955), and Trueta (1957) there has been a renewed interest in the mechanism of capital necrosis after fractures of the femoral neck. The literature on the subject is so extensive that no effort will be made here to quote even the most outstanding work, for the aim of this paper is to report the results of an investigation into the vascular damage caused by fractures of the femoral neck in the adult.
