What to do if you have a femoral neck fracture? Three methods to help you heal easily

In daily life, bones in people's bodies are likely to be fractured due to accidents. Femoral neck fracture is a common type of fracture. So, what should we do if we have a femoral neck fracture?

1.Surgery

The best treatment for femoral neck fractures is manual reduction and internal fixation. As long as the reduction is satisfactory, most internal fixation methods can achieve a healing rate of 80% to 90%. Only 5% to 10% of non-union cases require surgery in the future. Even if femoral head necrosis occurs, only 1/3 of cases require surgery. Therefore, the treatment principle of femoral neck fractures should be: early atraumatic reduction, reasonable multiple nail fixation, and early rehabilitation. Artificial joint replacement is only suitable for patients over 65 years old with Garden III and IV fractures who can tolerate surgical anesthesia and trauma.

2. Reposition and internal fixation

The results of reduction and internal fixation are related not only to the degree of fracture injury, such as displacement, comminution, and blood circulation damage, but also to whether the reduction is correct, whether the fixation is correct, and the postoperative recovery.

3.Artificial prosthesis replacement.
