Proximal femoral focal deficiency. The role of computed tomography, computed tomographic angiography and arthroscopy of the knee joint

Abstract

Computed tomographic angiographic reconstructions can be used to depict the spatial configuration of the pseudoarthrosis and vascular pattern of the extremity. The authors found distinct vascular changes in the majority of the affected things, but there were no typical changes related to the types of congenital short femur.
