Q

If you have an injury that breaks/fractures the neck of the femur…

A

the medial circumflex branch of the femoral artery can be severed and lead to necrosis of the head of the femur.
May have an artery of round ligament of femoral head that can be derived from either obturator or medial circumflex a.
However, this a. is small and will not provide enough blood supply to adequately supply the head of the femur.
