Internal fixation of ununited femoral neck fractures combined with muscle-pedicle bone grafting. 1986

D P Baksi

Fifty-six patients with ununited intracapsular fractures of the femoral neck were treated by internal fixation and muscle-pedicle bone grafting. All had some absorption of the femoral neck, and many had avascular necrosis of the femoral head. At operation the sclerosed surfaces of the fractures were freshened, the avascular femoral head was decompressed and the muscle-pedicle graft was fixed with silk thread wrapped around pins. Satisfactory union occurred in 42 patients (75%), and delayed union in seven, of whom four (7%) eventually united without further treatment and three united after osteotomy. Non-union occurred in five patients and technical failure in two.
