Abstract

Four cases with femoral neck fracture were treated by osteosynthesis combined with valgus osteotomy of the femur using compression hip screw. Three cases were old fractures and one case was pseudoarthrosis. In all cases, the hip pain decreased early in the postoperative period, and bone union was achieved. Valgus osteotomy of the femur is an effective method for old fracture and pseudoarthrosis, and compression hip screw provides stable fixation which allows early rehabilitation. Because of these reasons, this method is useful for old fractures and pseudoarthrosis of the femoral neck.
