Abstract

Background:Intra-capsular femoral neck fractures account for about 50% of all hip fractures. The fracture of femoral neck have always been great challenge to orthopedic surgeons and still remain an unsolved fracture as far as treatment and results are concerned due to its complexity in anatomy & bio-mechanical circumstances. With the recent advances in the treatment, outcome of these fractures have remarkably changed. Materials and Methods: This prospective randomized observational study was conducted on 30 patients with fracture neck of femur, fixed with 3 cannulated screws in inverted triangle pattern with aim and objective to assess the effectiveness of fixation in a skeletally mature patients to restore healing of fracture and to evaluate the functional outcome as well as complications if any, of the fracture fixation
