XXXX of the femoral head: what are the reasons for poor outcome?

@entity1 @entity625 @entity174 @entity130 @entity2530
BACKGROUND: In this article, we aimed to discuss treatment strategies in @entity174 of the femoral head, which is a very rare injury. METHODS: We reviewed five @entity1 (six @entity174 ) who admitted to our emergency department due to femoral @entity174 between March 2006 and December 2007. Functional outcomes of the @entity1 who were treated operatively and nonoperatively were compared. RESULTS: Half of the @entity174 were treated nonoperatively and half of them surgically. We observed a rate of 50% excellent to good results. @entity2530 developed in a @entity1 with @entity130 . The functional results were poor for this @entity1 . Early posttraumatic @entity625 was observed in a @entity1 who was treated surgically; this @entity1 had moderate results. CONCLUSION: We should aim at anatomic reduction of the fragments with minimum soft tissue injury. The best approach should be chosen for excellent view of the fragments. We should not forget that half of these @entity1 will have a poor outcome despite all treatment strategies.
