These fractures are fairly common among the elderly population, which have a diminished bone density, making them prone to femoral neck fractures. They have a considerable impact on a country's healthcare and economy, due to the associated high morbidity and mortality rates . Primary head replacement surgeries should be considered in high-risk patients with femoral neck fractures.įemoral neck fractures have a high incidence rate among the general population, accounting for 3.6% of all fractures . Almost half of the patients sustained complications and were unable to achieve weight-bearing status at six months postoperatively.ĭespite a relatively short follow-up period in our study, femoral neck fractures in young adults were found to be associated with a high rate of complications. The majority of the patients underwent femoral head salvage surgeries. Most of the patients were found to have severe displacement based on Garden and Pauwels classification. A total of 46 patients were included in the study.

The complications were associated with the mechanism of injury, capsulotomy, and type of fixation. The comparison between the sociodemographics, clinical assessment, and complication outcomes was analyzed using statistical software. The demographic profile of the patients, injury patterns, intervention details, functional outcomes, and complications were analyzed. Patients with femoral neck fractures who underwent surgery in three tertiary hospitals in Pahang state in Malaysia were reviewed and included in this study. In this study, we aimed to investigate the outcomes in young patients with femoral neck fractures and factors associated with their complications. However, primary head replacement surgeries have been gaining traction recently to expedite the recovery of these patients. Femoral neck fractures in young adults are normally treated with head salvage surgery. Femoral neck fractures are relatively rare in young adults, but they result in prolonged loss of function in these patients, thereby placing a huge burden on a country’s healthcare and economy.
