Management of neglected femur neck fractures treated with non vascularised fibular graft
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Orthopaedics Surgery - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Intracapsular femoral neck fractures are seen commonly in elderly people following a low energy trauma 23 of all femoral neck fractures occurs in adults younger than 50 years and is often the result of highenergy trauma Femoral neck fracture continues to be considered as an unsolved fracture in view of poor prognosis and variable outcome reported after different procedures In developing countries the fracture often remains untreated as the patients do not seek treatment due to non availability of treatment facility or may be treated primarily by osteopaths or operated under suboptimal theatre conditions with poor quality implants We prospectively studied the outcome of 54 patients managed with non vascularised fibular graft and cancellous screws between 20102015 ANOVA test was used as a test of significance and functional results were assessed by Modified Askin and Bryan criteria To conclude in patients younger than 60 years of age with neglected femoral neck fracture non vascularised fibular graft acts as a reliable biological implant for revascularisation and gives excellent functional outcomeKeywords Neglected neck Femur fracture

Minimally Invasive Plate Osteosynthesis: A Review
Present-day concepts of osteosynthesis emphasize upon biological healing of fractures. This has led to advent of minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis. This technique if used when indicated leads to numerous advantages...
Direct lateral approach to shaft of radius – a cadaver study
Introduction: Shaft of radius is traditionally approached by Henry’s volar approach and Thomson’s dorsal approach. Direct lateral approach is described by Muhammed Hanif et al in 2014. We wanted to evaluate the direct la...
A study of Outcome of Tibial Plateau Fracture with Minimally Invasive Percutaneous Plate Osteosyntheisis (MIPPO) Technique
Introduction: The tibial plateau is one of the most critical load bearing areas in the human body; fractures of the plateau affect knee alignment, stability, and motion. Early detection and appropriate treatment of these...
