A fracture of the neck of the femur presents with the sound of bones rubbing together, and this bone rubbing sound is one of the characteristic signs of a fracture. When a fracture occurs, it should be treated immediately with conservative treatment and internal fixation depending on the type of fracture, and in severe cases, arthroplasty can be performed.
Fractures of the neck of the femur heal slowly and are prone to necrosis of the femoral head. If the patient is too old, the general condition is poor, and there is no displacement, conservative treatment can be taken, bed rest, lower extremity abduction skin traction for 6~8 weeks.
If it is a relatively stable fracture, it can be fixed by closed reduction with screws; for failure of manipulative reduction, or unreliable fixation, it can be reset and internally fixed in surgical incision.
If the femoral neck fracture is more serious, it is estimated that the effect of conservative treatment is very poor, and the probability of femoral head necrosis will be greatly enhanced, at this time, according to the individual’s situation to choose artificial femoral head replacement.
Femoral neck fracture, should actively clarify the condition, under the guidance of the doctor for reasonable treatment.
