May guide femoral neck fracture care in similar low-resource settings; leaves open need for randomized confirmation.
What is the most satisfactory method for managing femoral neck fractures in Nepal?
In resource-limited settings like Nepal, non-operative management remains the most satisfactory method for treating femoral neck fractures.
Shah et al. (1991) conducted a review in Femoral neck fractures. Non-operative management vs. Operative management was evaluated on Satisfactory treatment and incidence of iatrogenic complications. Non-operative management was found to be the most satisfactory method for treating femoral neck fractures given the available medical resources in Nepal.
