CLIN ORTHOP RELAT RES , 2001, n° 393, p. 294-301 Doc n°: 102829 Localisation : Documentation IRR Descripteurs : DE44 - TRAUMATISMES - CUISSE-FEMUR A prospective followup study of 36 femoral neck fractures according to the assessment of femoral head perfusion using dynamic magnetic resonance imaging is reported. Patients were divided into three groups based on the dynamic magnetic resonance imaging findings (dynamic curve pattern and relative enhancement ratio) that were conducted within 48 hours of the injury. Traction was used to achieve anatomic reduction and to prevent additional damage to vascularity until minimally invasive internal fixation could be done. The fractures of all 17 patients whose femoral head perfusion was normal (Type A; n = 11) or was impaired but not totally absent (Type B; n = 6) healed without complications. Among the 19 patients whose femoral head perfusion was absent (Type C), 15 had complications (osteonecrosis, n = 10; nonunion, n = 5). Assuming that fractures with a Type A or Type B curve pattern would unite successfully and that those with a Type C curve pattern would not, the sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of the predictions of successful osteosynthesis of the femoral neck fractures using this method were 81%, 100%, and 89%, respectively. The current classification of femoral neck fractures using dynamic magnetic resonance imaging may be useful in selecting an appropriate treatment method for the fractures.
