Abstract

Femoral neck fracture in normal bone of young adults is a rare fracture. The high energy leading to the fracture causes comminution at the fracture site ; a greater disruption of the blood supply to the femoral head and a higher incidence of associated injuries , all adding up to a dismal prognosis. Early anatomical reduction either closed or open , and internal fixation can be advocated as the treatment of choice in femoral neck fractures in young adults. These fractures are associated with a high complication rate, avascular necrosis and nonunion remain the most serious complications.
