Impaction femoral head fractures are seldom diagnosed or treated, even though they can be present in between 39% and 57% of acetabular-fracture dislocations or hip dislocations. These fractures can cause residual hip pain, instability, avascular necrosis (AVN) and early joint wear, potentially necessitating a total hip arthroplasty. Treatment options range from expectant management, which carries a high risk of AVN, to controlled hip dislocation and mosaicplasty, the latter demonstrating variable results.We present the case of a woman in her 50s with an impaction femoral head fracture treated via closed reduction with a bent rod using a predrilled tunnel created with the dynamic hip screw reamer, followed by biological stabilisation with allografts, bone morphogenetic protein-2 and stem cells to provide the appropriate environment for bone healing. This minimally invasive technique offers a viable treatment option for impaction femoral head fractures, with low morbidity and favourable short and mid-term follow-up outcomes. Further studies can validate the results of this technique.
股骨头嵌插骨折很少得到诊断或治疗,尽管在髋臼骨折脱位或髋关节脱位中,其发生率可达39%至57%。这些骨折可导致残留髋关节疼痛、不稳定、缺血性坏死(AVN)和早期关节磨损,可能需要进行全髋关节置换术。治疗选择范围从有较高AVN风险的保守治疗,到控制性髋关节脱位和镶嵌成形术,后者的效果不一。我们报告了一例50多岁女性股骨头嵌插骨折的病例,通过使用动力髋螺钉扩孔钻创建的预钻孔隧道,用弯棒进行闭合复位治疗,随后用同种异体骨、骨形态发生蛋白-2和干细胞进行生物稳定,以提供适合骨愈合的环境。这种微创技术为股骨头嵌插骨折提供了一种可行的治疗选择,具有低发病率以及良好的短期和中期随访结果。进一步的研究可以验证该技术的结果。
