Osteosynthesis of un-displaced Femoral Neck Fractures Using Two Canullated Screws. A Study from a Tertiary Care referral institution in India
Journal Title: International Journal of Contemporary Medical Research - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
Introduction: Canullated screws are now universally used for the fixation of femoral neck fractures either by open or closed reduction in younger patients. It is not only difficult to achieve a proper triangular configuration when using three cannulated screws, but struggling to achieve it leads to extra irradiation and sometimes can result in mal positioning and cut out of screws. Material and Methods: From January 2014 to March 2016, thirty two patients with undisplaced femoral neck fractures were treated by close reduction and two cannulated screw fixation and were followed with the monthly clinical and radiological examination to establish fracture healing and record any complications for at least one year. Results: All fractures except one united with excellent results in 22(68.75%) fair in 4(12.5%) Good in 5(15.6%) and poor in one (3.12%) patient. Conclusions: Two parallel canullated screw fixation is a safe and effective method for the treatment of undisplaced femoral neck fractures with less irradiation, less operating time and minimal complications.
