Abstract
Femoral neck fracture is a common and hazardous condition of the elderly, whose morbidity is constantly increasing with population ageing and has become a serious social burden. Prosthetic joint replacement can successfully relieve pain and restore joint function. As a result, an increasing number of doctors consider it a primary treatment option for displaced femoral neck fractures in the elderly. Patients and society, however, are burdened by the lengthy procedure and hefty cost. The surgery technique for femur fracture neck fractures should be redefined as medical technology advances. Individual therapy options should be determined by the therapeutic indication and the clinical status of the patient. Personalized therapy techniques for elderly patients with femoral neck fractures should be established. The fractures causes radiating pain to the knee. Inability to bear weight. Shortening or sideways rotation of affected leg. It causes external rotation deformity, shortening, unable to ambulate, echymosis, restricted movements. The main cause of femoral neck fracture is a medical condition called osteoporosis which causes the bones to become thin and weak due to loss to bone mass. A femoral neck fracture can tear the blood vessels and cut off the blood supply to the femoral head. If the blood supply to the femoral head is lost, in bone tissue avascular necrosis may occur, leading to the eventual collapse of the bone.
Highlights
Hip fractures are common injures, especially seen in the elderly in the emergence setting
With femoral neck fractures are a specific type of intracapsular hip fracture
The femoral neck connects the femoral shaft with the femoral shafts with the femoral head
Summary
Hip fractures are common injures, especially seen in the elderly in the emergence setting It is seen in young patients who perform in athletics pr high energy trauma. Methods of surgery with computerized navigation improve the accuracy of cannulated screw placement in the internal fixation of femoral neck fractures. It may provide better mechanical stability and improved fracture outcome. Muscle strength improving is necessary to enhance post operative walking capacity for rehab and to diminish the risks of falls. It will help preventing other fractures, increasing gait speed and balance, increasing ADLs performance, regaining walk capacity. The femur is the only bone in the thigh, it serves as an attachment point for all the muscles that exert their force over the hip and knee joints, like the gastrocnemius and plantaris muscles, originate from the femur
