Is internal fixation of femoral neck fractures desirable?

Internal fixation of femoral neck fracture can be taken out after the fracture is completely healed, as to whether to take it out or not is related to the material of internal fixation, age and surgical complications. Internal fixation made of titanium alloy can be retained for a long time inside the human body due to better biocompatibility and rarely cause adverse effects, so it can not be taken out; internal fixation made of steel can be taken out after recovery of the fracture due to possible electrolyte reaction in the later stage. If you are older and have no other discomfort after recovery, you can also not take it out. If the internal fixation of the fracture loosens or slips after surgery, it needs to be adjusted or the internal fixation should be taken out; if the protruding internal fixation under the skin leads to persistent pain in the top skin and subcutaneous tissues, which makes it difficult to dare to lie down on the affected side, or secondary to the fracture collapse, the internal fixation should be taken out in time. Whether to take out the internal fixation of femoral neck fracture is also related to the individual’s wishes, it is recommended to consult a doctor to decide according to the individual’s situation.
