A localization method for guide pin insertion points in the treatment of femoral neck fracture with closed reduction and percutaneous cannulated screw fixation.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Closed reduction and percutaneous cannulated screw fixation is the preferred surgical method for treating femoral neck fractures in elderly patients under 70 years old. The key to the operation is the precise insertion of the guide pin after the successful reduction. However, there is no universally accepted standard for the localization of the guide pin insertion point. This study introduces our invention of a localization method for guide pin insertion points.

Methods

We used fluoroscopic frequency, operative time, union rates, and complications to retrospectively evaluate the treatment and outcome of femoral neck fractures using our localization method for guide pin insertion points. The study included ten patients treated at Affiliated Hospital of Shandong Uni
