Fixation of displaced subcapital femoral fractures. Compression screw fixation versus double divergent pins.
One hundred and twenty-seven consecutive patients with displaced subcapital fractures of the femoral neck (Garden Grade III or IV) all under 80 years of age and independently mobile, were randomly allocated to fixation with either double divergent pins or a single sliding screw-plate device. The incidence of non-union and infection in the sliding screw-plate group was significantly higher, and ...
متن کاملCompression screw fixation for displaced subcapital fracture of the femur. Success or failure?
We report a prospective study of 198 cases of subcapital fracture of the femur treated by closed reduction and fixation with a sliding compression screw-plate. This was done without regard to the patient's age or the Garden stage of the fracture. Early weight-bearing was encouraged. Of the displaced fractures 23% failed in the first year because of non-union or infection. Of the fractures which...
متن کاملSubtrochanteric fracture after Garden screw fixation of subcapital fractures.
Ten cases of a complication of Garden screw fixation of subcapital fracture, namely subtrochanteric fracture through the lower screw hole, are presented. Their possible aetiology, prevention and difficulties in management are discussed. It is recommended that, during the insertion of Garden screws, care should be taken to avoid multiple attempts at passing the guide wire. If subtrochanteric fra...
متن کاملClinical Results of Internal Fixation of Subcapital Femoral Neck Fractures.
BACKGROUND Subcapital femoral neck is known to cause many complications, such as avascular necrosis (AVN) of the femoral head or nonunion, compared with other femoral neck fractures. The purpose of this study was to analyze the incidence of AVN and fixation failures in patients treated with internal fixation using cannulated screws for the subcapital femoral neck fractures. METHODS This study...
متن کاملSubchondral screw fixation for femoral neck fractures.
We describe a method of internal fixation for femoral neck fractures which has been newly developed to reduce the frequency of early complications. Two cannulated screws are inserted in the axis of the femoral neck to reach into the subchondral bone of the femoral head. The screws are inserted over guide pins and the tip of the screw is self-tapping and designed to provide good anchorage in the...
