The treatment of femoral neck fracture using VEGF-loaded nanographene coated internal fixation screws
PURPOSE Previous studies have proved that vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) has a dual role in the promotion of new bone formation and blood vessel repair during fracture healing. However, how to introduce VEGF to a fracture site safely and effectively is still a challenge. This study aimed to prepare a VEGF-loaded nanographene coated internal fixation screw and to evaluate its effects ...
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 کاملInternal fixation with cancellous bone screws is effective for femoral neck fractures by lowering the incidence of femoral head necrosis
Aims: The present study is to evaluate the effect of internal fixation with cancellous bone screws in the treatment for femoral neck fractures. Methods: A total of 64 patients with femoral neck fractures hospitalized at our hospital from January 2014 to December 2014 were included in the present study. The 64 patients were randomly divided into Con group (internal fixation by thread needles; n ...
متن کاملMinimally displaced intra-capsular femoral neck fractures in the elderly--comparison of multiple threaded pins and sliding compression screws surgical techniques.
PURPOSE To determine the outcome of treatment for minimally displaced femoral neck fractures using multiple threaded pins versus sliding compression screws for internal fixation. METHODS The medical records of 62 consecutive elderly patients with minimally displaced intra-capsular femoral neck fractures who underwent internal fixation of the fracture (37 with multiple threaded pins, and 25 wi...
متن کاملIntrapelvic Protrusion of a Broken Guide Wire Fragment during Fixation of a Femoral Neck Fracture
During fixation of a femoral neck fracture in a 23-year-old male patient with cannulated screws, a broken guide wire fragment inadvertently advanced through the hip joint and protruded into the pelvis. A second surgical approach was needed to remove the broken fragment from the pelvis. Awareness of such a potentially devastating complication will make surgeons more cautious during implementa...
