This image
is of a CT scan of my right hip in 1994. I had fractured the femoral
neck in 1990 and undergone fixation. The fracture healed but the femoral
head went on to Avascular Necrosis (AVN). In 1992 I underwent Vascularized
Free Fibular Grafting and the graft incorporated well. However, the
dead bone was not revascularized and by the time these images were taken
the femoral head was beginning to break up. The images of the CT scan
were captured by setting up my old video camera on a tripod and focusing
it on the film on a viewing box. The video camera was connected to a
Video Capture Board (Snappy) which in turn was connected one of the
line printer port of the computer. Snappy comes with video capture and
image editing software and retails for about $200 Canadian.
