Does Capsulotomy in Closed Reduction of Femoral Neck Fractures Decrease Incidence of Avascular Necrosis?

Egypt40 participantsStarted 2021-01-01

Plain-language summary

Femur's neck injuries are frequently encountered fractures. They are usually due to high energy or low energy indirect trauma. Healing of these fractures is usually hindered due to "avascular necrosis (AVN)" or "non-union" of the Femur's head. This study looks forward to investigating the impact of capsulotomy and internal fixation in lowering the incidence of complications and improving the functional outcomes.
