Femoral Head & Neck Ostectomy Femoral head and neck ostectomy (FHO) is a commonly performed procedure for surgical treatment of traumatic and chronic conditions affecting the hip. The option to do an FHO is typically presented along with other surgical alternatives. Some surgeons see it as a last resort or a âsalvageâ procedure, whereas others believe it to be a pri-mary recommendation for many orthopedic diseases of the hip. INDICATIONS Common indications for an FHO include: Femoral head and neck fractures
What is done during the FHO surgery? The FHO surgery consists of removing the ball of the hip. The ligament around the hip is then stitched up. During healing, which usually takes two months, scar tissue will form in the joint to prevent rubbing of bone on bone. A false joint is then formed, which is pain free.
