This study aims to analyze the long-term functional outcomes and survival rates of the femoral head after traumatic fractures.
Retrospective analysis of 15 male patients treated for femoral head fractures from 2012 to 2021
Physical examinations and radiological assessments performed by two examiners
Functional outcomes measured using the Harris Hip Score (HHS) at final follow-up.
80% complication rate observed, primarily nerve lesions and posttraumatic osteoarthritis
Mean Harris Hip Score of 76.69 ± 20.3 indicating moderate outcomes
Six out of 15 patients did not retain their native hip joint at assessment.
