Randomized Controlled TrialBiodegradable magnesium screws and vascularized iliac grafting for displaced femoral neck fracture in young adults.
Avascular necrosis of femoral head and nonunion is a major complication after the treatment of displaced femoral neck fracture in young adults. The purpose of this study was to introduce a new technique using biodegradable magnesium screws and vascularised iliac grafting for displaced femoral neck fracture in young adults. ⋯ Biodegradable magnesium screws and vascularized iliac grafting based on the ascending branch of lateral femoral circumflex artery for displaced femoral neck fracture in young adults can provide the satisfactory results with a low rate of complications including avascular necrosis and nonunion.
