Screw fixation with a triangle configuration, a displaced fracture, and poor reduction are risk factors for nonunion in intracapsular femoral neck fractures treated with fixation with multiple screws.
Significant better IKDC objective evaluation, lower glide pivot shift phenomenon, and shorter operating time requirement in screw fixation group with respect to suture fixation group were shown in our study although the other functional knee scores (Lysholm score, Tegner activity level, and the IKDC subjective score) and KT-1000 manual side-to-side difference only revealed a trend with better clinical results in screw fixation group than in suture fixation group rather than significant difference.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
