pubmed:abstractText |
Ipsilateral fractures of the femoral neck and trochanter are uncommon. We report a 30-year-old man with a T-shaped fracture separating the trochanter and neck from the head. He underwent osteosynthesis using a dynamic compression plate, screws, and pins. Bone union occurred 4 months postoperatively. At the one-year follow-up, the patient was free of pain and had no evidence of avascular necrosis. It is important to preserve the femoral head in young patients by preventing further compromise of the tenuous blood supply.
