A Retrospective Review of High-Energy Femoral Neck-Shaft Fractures
Journal of Orthopaedic Trauma, 03/25/09
Cannada LK et al. - The data indicate that even with a negative preoperative computed tomography scan, a femoral neck fracture can be present. A trend also indicated more missed femoral neck fractures with retrograde nailing, which may be attributed to less fluoroscopic imaging of the hip with this technique. Patients with femoral shaft fractures should have good quality radiographs after femoral nailing to minimize the risk of missed femoral neck fractures.
