Objective: To analysis the outcome of modified closure bone setting manipulation for the treatment of femoral neck fracture.
Methods: From January 2012 to December 2012, 47 cases of femoral neck fracture were treated and included 25 males and 22 females with an average age of (44.58±10.32) years old ranging from 23 to 61 years old. All patients had a history of trauma, hip pain and movement limited, limb shortening extorsion deformity, X-ray showed fracture between femoral head and femoral neck basic. Among them, 32 cases were Garden type III and 15 cases were type IV. Patients were performed surgical treatment at 2 to 5 days after admission with 45 degrees abduction and extension position, internal rotation reduction, and 3 guide pins were inverted in a equilateral triangular structure of upside down arrangement. The postoperative recovery quality, fracture healing, femoral head necrosis and hip function were observed.
Results: Operation time was 40 to 70 min, intraoperative bleeding was 20 to 50 ml. All patients received good reposition, and the intraoperative perspective was 12 to 25 times. Forty-five patients were followed up for 24 to 36 months, and 2 cases were lost. Fracture of 45 cases were got bony healing, 3 cases with partial necrosis of femoral head, both in the ARCO stage II. Twenty-four months after operation, Harris hip function score was 43.24±2.74 in pain, 42.82±1.95 in function, 3.72±0.45 in deformity, 2.77±0.52 in activity, 92.56±4.42 in total;the outcome was excellent in 39 cases, good in 4 cases, fair in 2 cases, without unbroken nails, infection, deep venous thrombosis, fracture and other complications.
Conclusions: Treatment of femoral neck fracture with the modified bone setting manipulation has an advantages of good effect, postoperative hip function recovery, curative effect.
