Cannulated screw fixation is a widely accepted surgical
method for management of fractures of the neck of femur
especially in patients with poor premorbid conditions,
minimally displaced fractures and those from a younger
age group. A five year retrospective study was carried
out in 53 consecutive patients between 2006 to 2010 to
determine the pattern of injuries, management, outcomes
and the associated predictive factors.All the patients
underwent cannulated screw fixation, with 37 (69.8%)
having had surgery within 24 hours and the remaining
16 (30.2%) 24 hours after the initial injury. All patients
were followed up to union of fractures and complications
thereafter if any. Good outcome was observed in 43
(81.1%) patients leaving only 10 (18.9%) patients with a
poor outcome, of whom nine developed avascular necrosis
(90%) and one non-union (10%). We found no significant
relationship between the incidence of avascular necrosis
and age of patient, fracture displacement, numbers of
cannulated screws used, fracture reduction acceptability
and anatomical location of the fracture. The time interval
from injury to surgery and the presence of posterior
comminution did seem to influence the rate of avascular
necrosis but due to the small number of patients, was not
statistically significant.We conclude that cannulated screw
fixation is a viable option of treatment for fractures of the
neck of femur.

Closed medullary nailing has become increasingly popular in the management of fractures of the femur because of a high rate of union, a low rate of complications, and excellent return of function. But it requires good facility and excellent surgical skill. The authors experienced two cases of iatrogenic femur neck fracture during closed medullary nailing of femur shaft fracture.

Proximal femoral nail anti-rotation (PFNA) with a lag screw that is shaped like a spiral blade shape is an orthopedic implant to fix trochanteric fractures of the proximal femur. In addition the reason of the biomechanical advantages, PFNA widely been used recently. We report an 83-year-old man with excessive sliding of the helical blade and a femoral neck fracture after AO/OTA type A2 intertrochanteric fracture, which was fixed with a PFNA.
