Why the study?
Intracapsular femoral neck fractures remain an unresolved challenge for orthopedic surgeons, with numerous osteosynthesis methods and persistent clinical difficulties.
Does osteosynthesis with fibular bone grafting and hip screw fixation improve clinico-radiological outcomes in young adults with late femoral neck fracture?
Population
64 young adults with femoral neck fractures more than 3 weeks old

Key result
Osteosynthesis with fibular bone grafting and hip screw fixation for late femoral neck fractures yielded good clinico-radiological scores in 100% of basal and 57.4% of transcervical fractures.

Does osteosynthesis with fibular bone grafting and hip screw fixation improve clinico-radiological outcomes in young adults with late femoral neck fracture?
Osteosynthesis with fibular bone grafting and hip screw fixation is a simple and cost-effective procedure with good results for late femoral neck fractures in young adults, particularly for transcervical and basal types.
Pathak et al. (2022) conducted an observational in Late Femoral Neck Fracture (n=64). Osteosynthesis with fibular bone grafting and hip screw fixation was evaluated on Clinico-radiological score. Osteosynthesis with fibular bone grafting and hip screw fixation for late femoral neck fractures yielded good clinico-radiological scores in 100% of basal and 57.4% of transcervical fractures.
