NCT03666637 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 69

Last updated 2018-09-13

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

One of the most serious sequelae of femoral neck fractures (FNFs) is avascular necrosis (AVN) and nonunion, and this translates to a significant morbidity and mortality. This study was conducted to determine the relationship between the etiologies and management of FNFs in our institution and its relationship to the development of AVN or nonunion.

Conditions

  • Femoral Neck Fractures
  • Avascular Necrosis

Interventions

PROCEDURE

dynamic hip screw (DHS) and cannulated screw (CS)

A preformed case report form was used to collect the data which included the demographic profile of the patients (age, gender), comorbidities, smoking history, mode of injury (high or low energy), presence of multiple trauma, garden classification, side of injury, time to fixation (in hours), type of reduction, type of implant used, RUSH score (healing), start of weight bearing, development of AVN, and final outcome (whether varus, valgus, displaced or healed).
