Femoral neck fractures in young adults remain a major
problem in orthopaedics. Although treatments using
cannulated screws and sliding hip screws are widely
accepted, they pose significant clinical challenges. In the
present study, we evaluated the outcome of treatment using
cloverleaf locking plate fixation (augmented with the
addition of addition of nonvascularised autologous bone
grafts for neglected fracture). Fourteen patients were
investigated in this cross-sectional study. Union times and
Harris hip scores were analysed by independent T-test based
on displacement (displaced vs. nondisplaced) and type (acute vs. neglected) of fracture. No difference in union time was found between acute and neglected groups and between nondisplaced and displaced fractures. Harris hip scores were similar between acute and neglected groups and between non- and displaced group. Cloverleaf locking plate fixation is a viable alternative method for stable fixation of femoral neck fractures in young adults.
