Do neck of femur fractures have a high rate of healing

Fractures of the neck of the femur, in general, have a high rate of healing. A high rate of healing can be achieved through timely and appropriate surgical treatment. Fractures of the neck of the femur can heal well with timely and appropriate surgical treatment, such as internal fixation to set the fracture ends and then adequate internal fixation. The postoperative healing rate is generally over 90%, while the other 10% may cause osteonecrosis of the femoral head or non-union of femoral neck fracture due to various reasons. If you follow the doctor’s instructions, take more bed rest and actively carry out functional training of the hip joint after surgery, the probability of femoral head necrosis is relatively low and the healing rate is high. If you get out of bed and walk without the doctor’s permission within 6 months after surgery, it is easy to cause necrosis of the femoral head. Because during this period, the fracture of the femoral neck has not completely healed, early weight-bearing is easy to destroy the new blood vessels, which will easily lead to poor blood supply or interruption of blood supply to the femoral head, which will cause the fracture not to heal, or later on the femoral head necrosis, which seriously affects the function of the joints. Patients with femoral neck fracture are recommended to go to the hospital in time for early and regular treatment.
