  • Title: Osteosynthesis of fractures of the femoral neck by nail-plate, screws and valgus osteotomy.
    Author: Rotolo F, Galmarini V, Zanasi L.
    Journal: Ital J Orthop Traumatol; 1989 Sep; 15(3):331-7. PubMed ID: 2599852.
    Abstract:
    The authors describe the method used for the treatment of subcapital fractures of the femoral neck in younger subjects. This method associates intertrochanteric osteotomy with osteosynthesis using one or two spongy bone screws and a nail plate. The series includes 26 patients followed up both clinically and radiographically. The results were very good, with 100% union and only 4 cases of ischaemic necrosis (15%).
