TENSOR FASCIA LATA/GLUTEUS MEDIUS MUSCLE PEDICLE BONE GRAFT FOR NON-UNION OF FEMORAL NECK FRACTURES.

Twelve male patients with non-union of fracture neck femur of 6-12 months duration were managed by open reduction and internal fixation and tensor fascia lata or gluteus medius muscle pedicle bone grafting through the anterior route. Internal fixation was done with Knowles pins and Asinis screws or combination of both. Union could be achieved in 11 out of the 12 cases. Functional recovery of hip was good in 9, fair in 2 and poor in one.
