Reduction Techniques in Displaced Femoral Neck Fracture: Educational Corner

Femoral neck fractures are considered as a significant decision - making challenge among most orthopedic surgeons . Some factors affect the decision - making ability of the surgeons, including surgical timing, quality of reduction, and mechanics of fixation ( 1 ) . Beside the degree of initial fracture, anatomic reduction is thought to be the key for successful uneventful fracture union. The goal of this educational corner is to introduce a classical approach to reduction techniques and issues in displaced femoral neck fractures. Another aim is to address some learning objects in this paper such as fracture configuration, c lose reduction techniques, assessing reduction accuracy, and the open reduction techniques.
