Journal Title: Journal of Pakistan Orthopaedic Association - Year 2017, Vol 29, Issue 02
Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the role of fibular strut graft for neglected neck of femur fracture via functional and radiological outcome. Methods: This descriptive study was carried out from January 2013 to July 2015. Data including age, gender, duration of fracture, complications during surgery and final outcome in terms of functional and radiological was documented on preformed proforma. SPSS 18 was used for data analysis . Results: A total of 16 patient were included in the study. There were 10 male and 6 females. 68.75% (11) patients showed excellent and good results and 31.25% (5) patients showed fair and poor results. Mean and standard deviation time of union was 19.8±4.13weeks (. 12.5%(2) patients ended up with features of AVN and 6.25%(01) patient went into non-union. Conclusion: Fibular strut graft for neglected neck of femur fracture has good and excellent results. It is simple, easy, cost effective procedure.
