Mid-Term Radiological Outcomes of Femoral Neck Fractures Treated With Osteosynthesis: A Comparative Analysis

February 9, 2024 updated by: Yasar Samet Gokceoglu, Istanbul University

OBJECTIVES: This study assesses the efficacy of dynamic hip screw (DHS) versus cannulated screws for femoral neck fractures, focusing on femoral neck shortening, avascular necrosis (AVN) incidence, and functional outcomes.

METHODS:

Design: Retrospective cohort study. Setting: Academic Level I Trauma Center. Patient Selection Criteria: Included were patients with femoral neck fractures treated with DHS or cannulated screws, with follow-up data available.

Outcome Measures and Comparisons: Main outcomes were femoral neck shortening, incidence of AVN, and Harris Hip Score (HHS) for functional assessment.
