Femoral Neck Complications in Isolated Femoral Neck Fractures Versus Ipsilateral Femoral Neck and Shaft Fractures
Patients with a displaced isolated femoral neck fractures are at higher risk for nonunion, osteonecrosis, and revision surgery than those with a displaced femoral neck fracture associated with an IpsiFNS. Quality of reduction had a relationship with osteonecrosis rates. An open approach to the neck reduction was associated with nonunion at a higher rate in displaced IsoFN than in displaced IpsiFNS. A fixation construct of multiple cancellous independent screws that included fully threaded screws had higher odds for nonunion.
