Imaging observation of percutaneous compression plate use in promoting femoral neck fracture healing.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To examine the imaging evidence of the use of percutaneous compression plate (PCCP) in promoting femoral neck fracture healing compared with cannulated screws (CS).

Methods

This retrospective study enrolled patients with femoral neck fractures undergoing internal fixation procedures. The patients were divided into a PCCP group and a CS group with imaging as the primary outcome and Harris hip score (HHS) as the secondary outcome.

Results

This study included 162 patients: 80 in the PCCP group and 82  in the CS group. There were no significant differences between the patients in their preoperative baseline characteristics. Patient follow-up ranged from 24-56 months (mean 30.7 months). Differences in reduction quality, screw slipping, neck shortening and avascul
