Abstract EN
Despite timely and appropriate management, displaced femoral neck fractures are often devastating injuries for the young patient.
The risk of negative sequelae is further amplified with increasing displacement and vertical fracture patterns.
Open anatomic reduction with rigid internal fixation is essential to maximize the healing potential in displaced fractures of the femoral neck.
Successful primary osteosynthesis of significantly displaced femoral neck fractures in the young patient has been reported in the literature.
We present a unique case of open reduction and internal fixation of a high-energy femoral neck fracture with extrusion of the head through the obturator foramen into the pelvis without associated acetabular or pelvic injury.
