Abstract Background: Femoral neck fracture is a serious injury in adults with significant functional consequences.Internal fixtion is an established treatment for femoral neck fractures in young adult patients .However, the risk of complications following fixation has plague orthopedists for decades.In all femoral neck fracture ,Pauwels type-III femoral neck fractures with a large vertical shear force were more likely to cause clinical failure.The aim of this study is to intruduce a new surgical technique for the treatment of this fracture according to the morphology of the fracture using the combination of Pauwels screw and inverted triangle cannulated screws(PSTCS)，and report the clinical effects in a prospective cohort of 14 patients.Methods: From June 2017 to June 2019, a total of 14 patients (8 males and 6 females ) with Pauwels type-III femoral neck fracture underwent the surgical treatment of PSTCS according to the morphologyical types of fracture in clinical operation in our department. Patients were allowed to perform contraction exercises of quadriceps femoris on postoperative day1, passive flexion and extension exercises postoperative day 2 onwards, and active flexion and extension exercises postoperative day 7 onwards. Patients were allowed for partial-weight bearing walking postoperative 1month onwards with axillary crutches. After one month AP and lateral radiograph were taken. Full ambulation was permitted until the presence of radiological consolidation.Intraoperative (Operative duration,Blood loss),postoperation(Fracture union time,The Harris Hip Score,Visual analog score) were record for comparison.Results: All patients were followed up for at least 12 months.In the end point of the follow up ,12 of the 14 patients (85.7%)with pauwels type-III femoral neck fractures had achieved satisfactory hip function. Operative duration was a mean of 49.5 ±10.4 minutes.Intraoperative blood loss was between 26 and 110 ml (mean, 44.4±20.6ml) and without intraoperative blood transfusion . The Harris Hip Score was between 64 and 95(mean,87.6±8.9).Fracture healing was observed in all patients according to the X-ray . No internal fixation was loosened or screw cut-out in the follow-up period.The femoral head necrosis was observed in 1 patient in this study. In addition, there was no obvious fracture displacement, femoral neck shortening, or hip varus. Conclusions: The study showed that PSTCS can provide a satisfactory clinical outcomes for treatment of pauwels type-III femoral neck fractures.Most patients (85.7%) achieved good or excellent results with the use of PSTCS,which appears to be a reliable method and provides another choice for this problematic fracture.The new internal fixation method of PSTCS can provide mechanical stability and promote fracture healing

Abstract Background: The optimal treatment of Pauwels type III femoral neck fracture in young patients remains a worldwide challenge in orthopedic surgery. Methods: Finite element models of four internal fixations were developed to treat Pauwels type III Femoral neck fracture: a: the traditional inverted triangular cannulated screw model, b: the F-technique cannulated screw model, c: the modified F-technique cannulated screw model using a fully threaded screw instead of a partially threaded distally, d: the dynamic hip screw coupled with anti-rotational screw model. Under the same conditions, finite element analyses were carried out to compare the displacement and von Mises stress distribution of four internal fixations and femurs, the maximum crack distances of the fracture surfaces, Z axis displacements of four models as well as the stress distribution in the subtrochanteric region. Results: The modified F-technique configuration resulted in a more stable fixation as compared to the other three approaches, with respect to the maximum displacement and stress peaks of femur and internal fixations, the maximum crack distances of the fracture surfaces, Z axis displacements of four configurations as well as the stress distribution in the subtrochanteric region.Conclusions: Our results suggested that modified F-technique configuration show a better performance in resisting shearing and rotational forces in treating Pauwels type III femoral neck fractures compared to those using traditional inverted triangular, the F-technique configuration or dynamic hip screw coupled with anti-rotational screw, providing a new choice for the treatment of femoral neck fractures.

Abstract Background: A range of postoperative complications make femoral neck fracture difficult to treat. Femoral neck shortening and internal fixation failure are two most prevalent complications associated with many surgical strategies. This study evaluates the probability of and risk factors for these complications after the treatment of femoral neck fracture using cannulated screws combined with a medial buttress plate.Methods: Data of 70 patients with femoral neck fractures treated using cannulated screws combined with a medial buttress plate in our hospital between March 2016 and March 2019 were retrospectively analyzed, and 40 patients who were followed up for more than 3 months were enrolled in the study. We evaluated the probability of postoperative femoral neck shortening and internal fixation failure and conducted multivariate logistic regression analysis to determine risk factors.Results: All 40 patients had Garden III/IV or Pauwels II/III fractures. Of these patients, 11 had femoral neck shortening greater than 5 mm and 8 had fracture nonunion or screw cutout requiring reoperation. There were no differences in age, sex, fracture site, Pauwels classification, and reduction quality between the shortening and non-shortening groups; however, there were significant differences in screw quality. Similarly, there were no differences in age, sex, Pauwels classification, reduction quality, and screw quality between the fixation failure and non-failure groups, but there were significant differences in fracture site and shortening. According to the multivariate analyses, screw quality was an independent risk factor for femoral neck shortening (odds ratio [OR]: 8.58; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.35–50.57; P=0.022), and femoral neck shortening was an independent risk factor for internal fixation failure (OR: 11.82; 95% CI: 1.66–84.36; P=0.014).Conclusions: Femoral neck fracture treatment using cannulated screws combined with a medial buttress plate led to a femoral neck shortening rate lower than that of other internal fixation methods and an internal fixation failure rate lower than or equivalent to that of other internal fixation methods. The quality of cannulated screws is a risk factor for postoperative shortening of the femoral neck, and femoral neck shortening is a risk factor for postoperative internal fixation failure.

Abstract BACKGROUND Non-traumatic fractures caused by convulsions are relatively rare and are often overlooked due to the lack of obvious evidence of injury. Non-traumatic fractures due to convulsions are diverse, but the concomitant of pelvic and femoral fractures has not been reported previously. CASE SUMMARY A 47-year-old woman with a no significant medical history, was taken to the nearest hospital after one episode of generalized tonic-clonic seizure that had occurred during sleep. After the postictal phase, the patient regained consciousness and experienced diffuse pain in the inguinal regions bilaterally with inability to stand or walk. The entire attack was witnessed by the family members who confirmed that there was not external trauma. Blood investigations revealed high creatinine and uric acid levels, along with a low calcium level. Conventional radiograph of the pelvis was performed to detect the cause of pain. The patient was noted to have a pelvic fracture and unilateral fracture of the neck of the femur. She was then transferred to our hospital for further management. The patient was diagnosed as having Tile type B3 pelvic fractures combined with a Garden type III femoral neck fracture on three-dimensional computed tomography (3D-CT). In view of her blood results, nephrology consultation was sought. The patient was identified as having a stage 5 chronic kidney disease (CKD), hypocalcemia, and hyperphosphatemia. However, neurological examination showed no abnormalities. No surgical intervention was adopted for her pelvic fractures. In addition to complete bed rest, closed reduction and percutaneous cannulated screw fixation was performed for the treatment of the right femoral neck fracture. An arteriovenous fistula was created for maintenance hemodialysis on the tenth postoperative day. At follow-up, twelve months follow-up after the operation, the patient had a normally gait and was satisfied with the outcome. CONCLUSION Patients who present with convulsive seizures especially patients with ion metabolism disorder should be examined thoroughly to ensure that no injury is missed.
