- Abstract
We present a case of displaced femoral neck fracture (FNF) in a patient treated with closed reduction and surgical fixation. An anatomic reduction was confirmed using intraoperative multidimensional fluoroscopy following reduction and surgical fixation. At the 1-year follow-up, the patient had returned to all activities and there were no signs of avascular necrosis. The quality of FNF reduction is an important modifiable treatment variable to reduce the risk of post-operative complications. Intraoperative multidimensional fluoroscopy enables the surgeon to utilize closed reduction techniques, limiting the risk of damage to vascular structures, while allowing for critical assessment of FNF reduction.
