Risk factors for avascular necrosis in Delbet type II paediatric femoral neck fractures: a case-control study

HIP International | 2026 | Nirmal R Gopinathan, Akash K Ghosh, Jai P Khatri, Karthick Rangasamy

Background and objectives: Paediatric femoral neck fractures (PFNFs) are rare but carry a significant risk of avascular necrosis (AVN) of the femoral head. Delbet type II fractures are the most common variant, yet specific predictors of AVN within this subgroup remain unclear. This study aimed to identify risk factors for AVN in Delbet type II PFNFs and evaluate the functional...

Application of headless cannulated compression screws for treatment of Delbet-Colonna II and III femoral neck fractures in children

Frontiers in Pediatrics | 2025 | Yikun Jiang, Yanbing Wang, Chuangang Peng, Baoming Yuan

PurposeFemoral neck fractures are clinically rare and are associated with a high risk of complications in children. Traditional internal fixation implants such as Kirschner wires and partial-thread cannulated screws (PTCS) have complications such as screw withdrawal and internal fixation failure. To address this problem, in this study we investigated the effectiveness of headle...

Femoral Neck Fractures: Osteosynthesis

Nepal Orthopedic Association Journal | 2025 | Sharvya Kakulamarri

Femoral neck fractures in young adults below the age of 65 most often result from high-energy trauma, in contrast to the low-energy mechanisms more common in elderly patients. As a result, treatment goals in younger patients focus on preserving the femoral head’s blood supply, achieving anatomic reduction, and maintaining stable fixation to support long-term function. This arti...

Femoral Neck Fractures: Replacement

Nepal Orthopedic Association Journal | 2025 | Paul Toogood

As the population continues to live longer and be in better health low energy neck of femur fractures continue to rise annually in incidence. Such injuries are common enough that many orthopedic surgeons doubtlessly feel confident in their management. Despite this the topic retains importance to the practicing surgeon and the health system because these injuries require rapid a...

Orthopaedic Surgery | 2022 | Dewei Zhao, Zihua Wang, Liangliang Cheng, Simiao Tian

Abstract Objective To compare a new classification with the Garden classification by exploring their relationships with vascular injury. Methods This retrospective study enrolled 73 patients with subcapital femoral neck fracture from July 2015 to November 2018, including 32 males and 41 females with an average age of 47.2 years. All patients were classified by the Garden classi...
