Summary:The authors have examined 43 children by the method of radiotropic angiography, 27 of whom had various diseases of the hip joint area. The blood flow in the iliac vessels and the regional blood flow in the area of the affected vessels was studied before and after the operation making use of an osteotropic radiopharmacological drug (RPD) 99mT-phosphon. Independent of the character of the degenerative and dystrophic process in the hip joints there was a reduction in the intensity of the blood flow on the affected side reaching 15-30%, which was more expressed at stage 111 of coxarthrosis with no considerable changes after the operation. In the control group this difference was +/- 5%. The regional blood flow (RBF) in the area of the operation was reduced down to 37% before the operation and increased by 17-35% 6-8 months after the operation with the exception of the cases of dystrophic lesions of the neck when no increase in the RBF was observed. The authors come to the conclusion about a relationship between the deviation from the normal conditions in the intensity of the blood flow and the degenerative and dystrophic processes in the hip joints.
