Abstract
The goal for surgical treatment of femoral neck fractures is achieving union through an anatomic reduction and stable fixation while avoiding osteonecrosis. This report describes the case of a 50-year-old male who presented with pain and swelling in his right hip and inability to bear weight over his right lower limb following a road traffic accident. The X-ray revealed a right-sided femoral neck fracture (Garden Type IV and Pauwels Type III). The patient was surgically treated with the GS Kulkarni (GSK) controlled dynamic hip screw. On follow-up, the bone healing time was 14 weeks and the patient achieved a Harris hip score of 93.65 with significant improvement.
