Abstract:
Impacted femoral neck fractures should be treated operatively as displaced fracture. Many authors suggested emergency operation. The principle of treatment of femoral neck fractures is anatomic reduction, fragmental compression,and rigid fixation. Closed reduction must be done in most cases. When close anatomic reduction can not be achieved, open reduction should be considered.Implants used recently consist of pins , screws,hook pins and gliding screws with side plate. Every implant has its own advantages, disadvantages and indications. The principle of treatment of femoral neck fractures in young patients is emergency operation (within 12h after trauma), anatomic reduction (open reduction when necessary), and rigid fixation with screws. Some authors stated the necessity of anterior capsularoctomy.
