Femoral Neck Fractures - Trauma - Orthobullets Femoral neck fractures are common injuries to the proximal femur associated with increased risk of avascular necrosis, and high levels of patient morbidity and mortality Diagnosis is generally made radiographically with orthogonal radiographs of the hip
Neck of Femur Fracture - Subcapital - TeachMeSurgery In this article, we will look at the classification, anatomy, clinical and radiological features, and management of neck of femur fractures Neck of femur (NOF) fractures can occur anywhere from the subcapital region of the femoral head to 5cm distal to the lesser trochanter (Fig 1)

Impacted or nondisplaced subcapital femoral neck fractures Neck fractures are extraarticular but intracapsular; the articular surface is not damaged, but the blood supply to the femoral head may be compromised Impacted fractures are usually caused by a fall of an elderly patient to the side In younger patients, this fracture is very unlikely
What is the best method of fixation for minimally displaced subcapital . . . The objective of this systematic review was to comprehensively search and analyse the available literature from multiple databases from inception, to determine the optimal fixation method for minimally displaced subcapital fractures of the neck of the femur (NOF)
Subcapital Neck of Femur Fractures - OrthoFracs Optimum reduction of the femoral neck fracture has been shown, in numerous studies, to be associated with a lower rate of avascular necrosis of the femoral head If these complications are avoided, these patients do better than arthroplasty patients of any kind
