Background: Over the years, primary hip arthroplasty has become a popular choice of management modality for intracapsular fracture neck of femur in geriatric hip. Although the complication of nonunion and avascular necrosis (AVN) is nullied by arthroplasty, the probability of re-operation and high surgical stress is substantially high as compare to osteosynthesis. The aim of this study was to determine the clinical outcome of biplane double supported screw xation (BDSF) for femoral neck fracture. Material And Methods: A total of 37 patients (15 males, 22 females) with a mean age of 75.97 years underwent BDSF for femoral neck fracture and were followed up for a period of 10-12 months. They were assessed on the basis of improvement in Harris Hip Score (HHS) and Garden Index. Results: After BDSF the union was achieved in 89.18% (33) patients.The mean HHS was 91.027 points and a garden index of 161-170 was achieved in 56.76% (21) patients at one year of follow up. The majority of patients had good to excellent functional outcomes. The average time of clinico-radiological union was 9.3 weeks. BDSF method used in femoral neck fracture Conclusion: xation has given very good results in this study. Though anatomical reduction is crucial, BDSF method ensures reliable xation, early rehabilitation and good functional outcome especially in elderly

A 64-year-old woman with a spontaneous fused hip sustained a left femoral neck fracture. It was revealed that her left hip joint had a long-standing spontaneous hip fusion due to end-stage osteoarthritis. Additionally, she sustained an ipsilateral femoral intertrochanteric fracture and underwent osteosynthesis using a dynamic hip screw 8 years ago. The one-stage THA was successfully treated with no major complications and good functional recovery was obtained. The hip range of motion improved remarkably at one year after surgery. The Modified Harris Hip Score improved from an estimated 70 points before fracture to 95 points at final follow-up.

<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> The incidence of neck of femur fracture among elderly population is increasing day by day. Femoral neck fracture has always been an unsolved fracture<strong> </strong>as far as treatment and results are concerned. There are different views regarding the optimal method of internal fixation in femoral neck fractures. Biomechanical data from literature suggest that calcar fixation is superior to central screws placement. This study aims to analyse the functional and radiological outcome of femoral neck fractures treated by calcar buttressed screw fixation described by Filipov as biplane double supported screw fixation.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> This is a prospective study conducted in our institution from May 2015 to May 2018.The study included 43 patients (31 male, 12 female) with femoral neck fracture. Three 6.5-mm cannulated screws were laid in two medially diverging oblique planes. The distal and the middle screws were supported on the calcar. The distal screw had additional support on the posterior neck cortex. Patients were followed up for average period of 2 years. Functional outcome was evaluated using Harris Hip score.<strong></strong></p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> Bone union occurred in 40 patients (93%) with average period of 3-4 months.<strong> </strong>51.2% of cases had<strong> </strong>excellent outcome. 23.2% of cases had good and 16.3% of cases had fair outcome. 9.3% of cases ended with poor outcome. Non union was reported in 3 patients (7%) and AVN in one patient. Various factors like age, Garden and Pauwel fracture types, time of presentation and time of surgery were statistically significant to the final functional outcome in our study.</p><p><strong>Conclusions:</strong> By providing additional calcar buttress compared to conventional method, this technique of screw fixation enhances femoral neck fracture fixation strength and reduces the fixation failure. </p>

Aims The aim of this study was to compare the functional and radiological outcomes in patients with a displaced fracture of the hip who were treated with a cemented or a cementless femoral stem. Patients and Methods A four-year follow-up of a randomized controlled study included 141 patients who underwent surgery for a displaced femoral neck fracture. Patients were randomized to receive either a cemented (n = 67) or a cementless (n = 74) stem at hemiarthroplasty (HA; n = 83) or total hip arthroplasty (THA; n = 58). Results Early differences in functional outcome, assessed using the Harris Hip Score, the Short Musculoskeletal Functional Assessment score and EuroQol-5D, with better results in cemented group, deteriorated over time and there were no statistically significant differences at 48 months. Two (3%) patients in the cemented group and five (6.8%) in the cementless group underwent further surgery for a periprosthetic fracture. This difference was statistically significant (p = 0.4). No patient underwent further surgery for instability or infection between one and four years postoperatively. The mortality and the radiological outcomes were similar in both groups. Conclusion Patients with a displaced femoral neck fracture treated with an arthroplasty using a cemented or cementless stem had good function and few complications up to four years postoperatively. However, due to the poor short-term functional outcomes in the cementless group, the findings do not support their routine use in the treatment of these elderly patients.

Objective To examine the imaging evidence of the use of percutaneous compression plate (PCCP) in promoting femoral neck fracture healing compared with cannulated screws (CS). Methods This retrospective study enrolled patients with femoral neck fractures undergoing internal fixation procedures. The patients were divided into a PCCP group and a CS group with imaging as the primary outcome and Harris hip score (HHS) as the secondary outcome. Results This study included 162 patients: 80 in the PCCP group and 82  in the CS group. There were no significant differences between the patients in their preoperative baseline characteristics. Patient follow-up ranged from 24–56 months (mean 30.7 months). Differences in reduction quality, screw slipping, neck shortening and avascular necrosis (AVN) were not significant between the two groups. There were significant differences between the treatment groups in bone absorption, nonunion, healing time, screw withdrawal and fixation failure in favour of the PCCP group. Postoperative HHS at 6 and 12 months were significantly better for the PCCP group than the CS group, but the differences were not significant at 24 months and last follow-up. Conclusion Stable internal fixation with dynamic compression was the key to PCCP promoting femoral neck fracture healing.

Abstract Background: Femoral neck fracture is a serious injury in adults with significant functional consequences.Internal fixtion is an established treatment for femoral neck fractures in young adult patients .However, the risk of complications following fixation has plague orthopedists for decades.In all femoral neck fracture ,Pauwels type-III femoral neck fractures with a large vertical shear force were more likely to cause clinical failure.The aim of this study is to intruduce a new surgical technique for the treatment of this fracture according to the morphology of the fracture using the combination of Pauwels screw and inverted triangle cannulated screws(PSTCS)，and report the clinical effects in a prospective cohort of 14 patients.Methods: From June 2017 to June 2019, a total of 14 patients (8 males and 6 females ) with Pauwels type-III femoral neck fracture underwent the surgical treatment of PSTCS according to the morphologyical types of fracture in clinical operation in our department. Patients were allowed to perform contraction exercises of quadriceps femoris on postoperative day1, passive flexion and extension exercises postoperative day 2 onwards, and active flexion and extension exercises postoperative day 7 onwards. Patients were allowed for partial-weight bearing walking postoperative 1month onwards with axillary crutches. After one month AP and lateral radiograph were taken. Full ambulation was permitted until the presence of radiological consolidation.Intraoperative (Operative duration,Blood loss),postoperation(Fracture union time,The Harris Hip Score,Visual analog score) were record for comparison.Results: All patients were followed up for at least 12 months.In the end point of the follow up ,12 of the 14 patients (85.7%)with pauwels type-III femoral neck fractures had achieved satisfactory hip function. Operative duration was a mean of 49.5 ±10.4 minutes.Intraoperative blood loss was between 26 and 110 ml (mean, 44.4±20.6ml) and without intraoperative blood transfusion . The Harris Hip Score was between 64 and 95(mean,87.6±8.9).Fracture healing was observed in all patients according to the X-ray . No internal fixation was loosened or screw cut-out in the follow-up period.The femoral head necrosis was observed in 1 patient in this study. In addition, there was no obvious fracture displacement, femoral neck shortening, or hip varus. Conclusions: The study showed that PSTCS can provide a satisfactory clinical outcomes for treatment of pauwels type-III femoral neck fractures.Most patients (85.7%) achieved good or excellent results with the use of PSTCS,which appears to be a reliable method and provides another choice for this problematic fracture.The new internal fixation method of PSTCS can provide mechanical stability and promote fracture healing
