Clinical Results of Osteosynthesis for Displaced Femoral Neck Fractures in under 70 Years Old

We reviewed the results of surgically treating displaced femoral neck fractures in patients under 70 years old. Between 2005 and 2010, eight patients (two males, six females, average age 53 years old) were treated at our hospital, and we reviewed bone union and late segmental collapse. We investigat...

Summary:We reviewed the results of surgically treating displaced femoral neck fractures in patients under 70 years old. Between 2005 and 2010, eight patients (two males, six females, average age 53 years old) were treated at our hospital, and we reviewed bone union and late segmental collapse. We investigated age, BMI, standby days, reduction of post operation, AP and lateral GAI, and position of implant. Six patients (75%) gained bone union, and two out of six (33%) had LSC. Significant differences were seen in bone union, reduction, and lateral GAI. Cases with under-reduced and low lateral GAI could not gain bone union. In LSC, there was significant difference in standby days. Long standby cases with long standby cases (average 4.5 days) are prone to LSC.
