Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Orthopedics - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
Background: Various factors affecting the fracture neck femur outcome and the controversies regarding its management has always been a challenge. With advent of the automobile age and the rapid urbanization, road traffic accidents, high velocity trauma has become quite common place in today’s life. As a result fracture neck of femur in young adults is on the rise. bjective: To study the efficacy of Valgus Intertrochanteric osteotomy for fixation of neck femur fractures along with Dynamic Hip Screw as implant for fixation. Methodology: Experimental study conducted by involving 30 patients with fracture neck of femur with various reasons and approaching to our hospital. Results: Mean age of the subjects was 40± 12.2 years. 70% of the subjects had Type III fracture. The difference in the mean Pauwell’s angle was found to be significant after operation. In 90% of cases, union at osteotomy site was seen within 2-3 months and union at fracture site was seen in 53.3% patients within 3-4 months
