Abstract
Cannulated screw fixation is a generally approved surgical approach for treating femur neck fractures, particularly in patients with poor premorbid conditions, fractures that are minimally displaced, and those who are younger in age. Between 2019 and 2021, a one -year prospective study was conducted on 13 consecutive patients to investigate the pattern of injuries, care, radiological and functional outcomes, and associated predictive factors. Timing of surgery in our study did not affect the outcome in our short period of follow-up ranging from 4 months to 1 year. Most of the cases (54.4%) were operated between days 4 to 7. All patients were followed up on till their fractures healed for two years and any problems arose. Only one patients (3.33%) had a bad prognosis, that is one non-union. There is some link between the age of the patient, fracture displacement, the number of cannulated screws utilised, fracture reduction acceptance, or the anatomical location of the fracture and the outcome. The time delay between injury and surgery, as well as the existence of posterior comminution, appeared to increase the rate of complication, although the effect was not statistically significant due to the limited number of patients. We conclude that cannulated screw fixation is a promising therapeutic option for femoral neck fractures.
