Indication: Closed neck of femur fracture.
Findings: IM trochanteric hip screw fixation of a basicervical femoral
neck fracture. They be extension of the fracture into the greater
trochanter. The fracture line remains evident with incomplete osseous
healing. There is some collapse of the femoral neck. Several small
ossific fragments are seen about the femoral neck. Ossific densities in
the soft tissues just lateral to the proximal femur are likely related to
surgery. Joint space appears preserved at the hips bilaterally without
significant degenerative changes. The sacrum and sacroiliac joints are
grossly unremarkable. There are numerous small lucencies within the
distal femur and proximal tibia which likely reflect disuse osteoporosis.
Impression:
Open reduction internal fixation of a basicervical femoral neck fracture.
There is some collapse of the femoral neck. The fracture is incompletely
healed.
