Femoral Neck Fractures 主讲教师:欧阳宏伟 / 蔡友治 浙江大学医学院
Case 1 • An 81-year-old • Female • complaining of hip pain and inability to walk after a simple fall.
Case 2 • A 47-year-old • female • with a history of schizophrenia and alcoholism • complaining of hip pain and inability to walk after a fall. • The affected leg appeared slightly shorter than the contralateral leg, and any attempted movement was painful.
82-year-old • female • complaining of hip pain after an unwitnessed fall. Case 3
Case report • A girl fall from a high tree • Result: simultaneous bilateral fractures of the femoral neck • process: initially they fall on edge of the roof or on branch of tree fracturing one neck of femur before falling to the ground to fracture the other. How happened?

Blood Supply • Intracapsular are at risk of non union and avascular necrosis due to interruption of the blood supply to the femoral head • Via cruicate (med and lat circumflex) and intramedullary.
Bone Load and Response • Stress • force per unit area • Strain • deformation • amount of deformation divided by original length
Types of Forces • Tensile • Compressive • Bending • Shear • Torsion
Stress, or pressure (s): force per unit area How much force does it take to cause an effect? That depends on how much area the force is spread over.
Localize Force with Pisiform Contact (Greater stress because contact area is smaller)
The concept of strain also applies to compressive loads L - DL- If the original length (L) was 300 mm and the new length was was 291 mm then e = DL / L =(new length – original length) / original length e = (291 mm – 300 mm) / 300 mm = -9 / 300 e = -0.03, or -3% Strain by itself tells you nothing about stress

Stress-Strain Relationship Bone Plastic Region Stress (load) Fracture Threshold Elastic Region Strain (deformation)
Relative Bone Strength Compression Tension Shear Fractures: with excessive loads, bone tends to fracture on the side loaded in tension.
Bone Response to Stress • Wolff's law (1892) • tissue adapts to level of imposed stress • increased stress • hypertrophy (increase strength) • decreased stress • atrophy (decrease strength) • Shape reflects function • Genetics, Body weight, physical activity, diet, lifestyle (see note clippings)
The pattern of • Trbecular bone • in the • greater trochanter • neck of the femur • head of the femur • reflects femur’s roles: • muscle attachment • flexibility • weight transfer • support
Atrophy in Bone • Weight & strength decrease • Calcium content diminishes • Reduced BMD • Trabecular integrity is lost
Bone stimulating factors • Rate of loading • Magnitude • Frequency
BMD and walking Quartiles based on miles walked/week Krall et al, 1994, Walking is related to bone density and rates of bone loss. AJSM, 96:20-26
Biomechanics One mechanism for reducing the resultant load on the femoral head is the use of a walking stick in the opposite hand.
Biomechanics of Cane • Cane in Contralateral hand decreases JRF • Long moment arm makes so effective • 15% BW to cane reduces joint contact forces by 50%
Garden Classification • Garden I: incomplete fracture of the femoral neck • Garden II: complete fracture without displacement • Garden III: complete fracture with partial displacement • Garden IV: complete fracture with full displacement
Fracture of femur neck • Geriatric population – simple fall • Younger population – high energy injury
Risk Factors • Age: >65 years • Co-morbid factors: osteoporosis, endocrine disorders (hyperthyroidism, hypogondaism), GIT disorders interfering with calcium/ Vit D absorption, neurological disorders (Parkinsons, MS) • Gender: F • RTA
Risk Factors • Nutrition: lack of calcium and Vit D in diet, eating disorders (anorexia), high caffeine intake • Smoking • Alcohol • Medication: steroids, anticonvulsants, diuretics • Environmental factors: loose rugs, dim lighting, cluttered floors
