Reverse obliquity femoral neck fractures: two case reports with a literature review
We were unable to find any prior description of a femoral-neck fracture whose inclination reaches or exceeds 90° while also failing every Gotfried cortical-support criterion. In the two patients presented, closed manipulation could not restore a stable reduction; instead, an anterior approach with open reduction and a screw-plus-medial-buttress construct produced solid union.
