The Relationship Between Femoral Neck Fracture in Adult and Avascular Necrosis and Nonunion
In Brief
An observational study evaluating dynamic hip screw (DHS) and cannulated screw (CS) for Femoral Neck Fractures and Avascular Necrosis. Completed, enrolled 69 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
One of the most serious sequelae of femoral neck fractures (FNFs) is avascular necrosis (AVN) and nonunion, and this translates to a significant morbidity and mortality. This study was conducted to determine the relationship between the etiologies and management of FNFs in our institution and its relationship to the development of AVN or nonunion.
