Treatment of femoral neck fractures with a cancellous screw and fibular graft

Abstract: Twenty-six patients with femoral neck fractures were treated by open reduction, cancellous screw fixation and free fibular grafting. The patients were between 14 and 50 years ofage. There were 16 old and 10 fresh fractures. Four patients had radiological signs of avascular necrosis before the treatment was instituted. Bony union was achieved in all patients except one, where the failure occurred because of a technical error. The patients were followed up for at least two years. No new case of avascular necrosi… Show more

“…Generally, there are very few options available to treat neglected non union neck femur fractures. Like osteosynthesis with or without vascularised or nonvascularised fibular grafting [8] , valgus intertrochanteric osteotomy [7] , osteosynthesis with muscle pedicle bone grafting [9,10] and replacement (hemiarthroplasty or Total hip Replacement). When the fracture neck of the femur is of more than 3 weeks duration, internal fixation alone has a very high failure rate.…”

“…Jaiswal and pruthi [13] showed dual fibular bone grafting for neglected femoral neck fractures is simple and cost effective method with good results. Fibular osteosynthesis in neglected femoral neck fracture was popularized by Nagi et al [8] . They used one cancellous screw and a fibular graft in their patients and reported union in all of them.…”

“…Various modalities to supplement osteosynthesis have been reported in literature. These include 1) Valgus Osteotomy 2) Muscle Pedicle graft 18 3) fibular Graft (Vascular / Non Vascular) 19 For most femoral neck fractures, the recommended fixation technique is with multiple cancellous lag screws. The Pauwels' Type I and II, but not Type III, are most amenable to this type of fixation.…”

“…Similar examples, often associated with delayed presentation of these fractures in developing countries, also tax the ingenuity and imagination of orthopaedic surgeons. In this situation the need to preserve the femoral head has led to the development of various procedures such as valgus osteotomy [11,13], fibular grafts [12], muscle pedicle grafts [2,10] and vascularised bone grafts [3,6]. Some of these procedures are very timeconsuming and require considerable expertise and technical competence.…”
