Femoral Neck Fractures in the Physiologically Young
نویسندگان
چکیده
2 Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Harborview Medical Center, Seattle, WA Femoral neck fractures are associated with a high degree of morbidity in patients of any age, but urgent attention is given to fractures in the young patient due to complications such as femoral head osseous necrosis, fracture nonunion, or post traumatic hip arthritis. Anatomic open reduction with stable internal fixation is necessary. Controversies surrounding the timing of surgery, need for capsulotomy, and type of fixation construct are reviewed, and surgical considerations are discussed.

Bilateral Simultaneous Femoral Neck and Shafts Fractures – A Case Report
Simultaneous fractures of the femoral neck and shaft are not common injuries, though they cannot be considered rare. Herein, we report our experience with a patient with bilateral occurance of this injury. Up to the best of our knowkedge this is the first case reported in literature in which correct diagnosis was made initially. Both femurs were fixed using broad 4.5 mm dynamic compression pl...
متن کاملComparing Therapeutic Outcomes of Dynamic Hip Screw and Multiple Cannulated Screws as Internal Fixation in Femoral Neck Fractures
Background and purpose: Femoral neck fracture is associated with a high rate of side effects, especially in young people, who are usually affected by severe energy shocks. Results after injury depend on some factors, including displacement, fragility, bleeding rate, proper placement, and stable and strong fixation. The aim of this study was to compare dynamic hip screw (DHS) or multiple cannula...
متن کاملHybrid Anterolateral Approach for Open Reduction and Internal Fixation of Femoral Neck Fractures.
Displaced femoral neck fractures in physiologically young patients are best treated with anatomic reduction and stable fixation. Several surgical approaches to the femoral neck have previously been described, although they are fraught with disadvantages such as poor visualization, the need for 2 incisions, and risk of injury to the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve and branches of the medial femo...
متن کاملSpontaneous bilateral femoral neck fractures in a young adult with chronic renal failure.
Pathologic femoral neck fracture due to renal osteodystrophy is rare. We report the case of a young adult patient with chronic renal failure who presented with bilateral spontaneous femoral neck fractures due to renal osteodystrophy. The pathophysiology of renal osteodystrophy and the treatment of hip fractures in patients with renal failure is discussed.
متن کاملIn-Hospital Outcomes after Hemiarthroplasty versus Total Hip Arthroplasty for Isolated Femoral Neck Fractures
Background: Previous studies suggest total hip arthroplasty may have some benefits compared to hemi-arthroplasty for displaced intracapsular femoral neck fractures in patients more than 60 years of age. The primary research question of our study was whether in-hospital adverse events, post-operative length of stay (LOS) and mortality in patients 60 year of age or older differed between tot...
