Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
Background: Treatment of ipsilateral fractures of hip and shaft femur is difficult and associated with high rate of complications. Choosing the right implant for this challenging problem is very essential to expedite optimum result with minimal complications. Method: 20 patients with ipsilateral fractures of hip and shaft femur were treated with two individual implants at each fracture site and followed up for 2 years .The functional outcome, complications were critically evaluated. Results: 18 femoral neck fractures united uneventfully. There was one case of non union and one case of osteonecrosis. Among 20 femoral shaft fractures, two went in to non-union, requiring secondary surgical procedure. There was one case of infection at the shaft fracture site, which healed with debridement and antibiotics. Conclusion: management of ipsilateral fractures of hip and shaft of femur with two separate implants not only gives best results but managing complications is better with this protocol.
