METHODS Sixty-six patients with femoral neck fracture were treated with percutaneous cannulated screws (n=33) or with DHS (n=33) between August 1999 and October 2003. Functional outcome was measured using Harris Hip Score, and period of union, amount of bleeding and complications were also recorded. RESULTS The period of union and functional outcomes were not different between the two groups. Risk of avascular necrosis (AVN) was associated mainly with the grade of fracture displacement. In the percutaneous cannulated screw group, duration of surgery was shorter and blood loss was less than in the other group. CONCLUSION There was no superiority between cannulated screws and DHS according to union times and functional results. Risk of AVN is related to the degree of displacement. However, a prospective randomized study is needed to determine the outcome of each technique for patients suffering similar displacement rates.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessEmergency medicineDynamic hip screwFractures of the femoral neckPercutaneousCannulated screwIntracapsular fracturesHip-fracturesProximal femurSubcapital fracturesFixationRehabilitationManagementOutcomesSwedenSystemArticle0003005217000132-s2.0-84855802596657018122290053Emergency medicineFemoral Neck Fractures; Hemiarthroplasty; Femur NeckAdultAgedArticleAvascular necrosisBleedingBone plateBone screwControlled studyDynamic hip screwFemaleFemur neck fractureFracture healingHarris hip scoreHumanIntermethod comparisonInternal fixatorMajor clinical studyMaleOperation durationOsteosynthesisPercutaneous cannulated screwPostoperative complicationRetrospective studyTreatment outcome
