Abstract

|
|
The clinical observation of 24 cases of the femur neck fracture with internal fixation was performed upon the patients who admitted in orthopedic department of Ewha University-Hospital from January, 1963 to December, 1970.
We mainly used nail and side plate for fixation of fracture except SmithPeterson nail used in few cases of high transcervical fractures.
We allowed weight bearing only after early union was demonstrated by roentgenograms, and made it a routine schedule that in peritrochanteric fractures, partial weight bearing was started at 8 weeks and full weight bearing at 12 weeks. But started about 4 weeks later than that of the peritrochanteric and trochanteric fractures in the transcervical fractures.
The clinical observation was done for one year or more and the results were divided into 4 groups, there were excellent, good, fair and poor.
We obtained the following results in few cases of femur neck fracture with internal fixation.
1. The average patient´s age was 45.9 years in men and 59.4 years in women.
2. The ratio of men and women was 62.5% :37.5%.
3. The deeper inserted nail, the better result was obtained.
4. The obtained results were relatively good, and non union or avascular
necrosis were not developed.
