Concomitant Ipsilateral Intracapsular and Extracapsular Femoral Neck Fractures in Young Individuals: A Report of 3 Cases.

CASES: Concomitant ipsilateral intracapsular and extracapsular fractures of the femoral neck, also termed "segmental fracture neck femur," are rare injuries, especially in physiologically young patients. We present 3 such cases that successfully underwent operative fixation with an extramedullary implant.

CONCLUSION

Good clinical outcomes may be obtained after osteosynthesis with extramedullary fixation devices in concomitant ipsilateral intracapsular and extracapsular fractures of the femoral neck in young patients (<60 years). They should be followed for a long duration to look for avascular necrosis.
