Why the study?
Does intracapsular pressure affect caput circulation in patients with nondisplaced femoral neck fractures?
Does intracapsular pressure affect caput circulation in patients with nondisplaced femoral neck fractures?
High intracapsular pressure (>80 mm Hg) in nondisplaced femoral neck fractures is associated with reduced caput circulation, indicating a risk for segmental collapse of the femoral head.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Elevated intracapsular pressure may impair femoral head perfusion in nondisplaced fractures; hypothesis-generating for decompression trials.
Holmberg et al. (1987) studied this question.
