About this book

Utilizing detailed case presentations from experts in the field, this book presents common clinical scenarios involving patients who have sustained displaced femoral neck fractures, discussing the injury mechanism, early treatment, potential treatment options, risks and complications involved. The style of presentation, the ease of readability, the use of appropriate and relevant cases to highlight the learning points, and the discussion of the decision-making process are all unique features of the book's approach. Using this tailored process, the each topic is reviewed and the rationale for what appears to be the optimal treatment - hemiarthroplasty or total hip replacement, for example - is provided to the reader, emphasizing that the ultimate decision requires the combination of science and judgment, both of which are continually evolving. Additional chapters present ongoing controversies in the management of these challenging fractures, as well as complications such as aseptic necrosis, symptomatic hardware and nonunions.

Portable and concise, orthopedic and trauma surgeons, residents and fellows alike will find Displaced Femoral Neck Fractures a practical and user-friendly resource.
