摘要
This retrospective study at King Fahd University Hospital was undertaken to assess the hospital-based incidence and the complication rate among young Saudi nationals with a fracture of the femur. Hospital records of 17 patients between 17 and 45 years of age (mean 27.4 years) with a fracture of the neck of the femur were studied for the period 1982 to 1988. Factors such as type and severity of injury, associated injuries, delay in internal fixation and the type of implant used, were analysed. Fracture of the neck of the femur in young adults was 28 per cent (22/79) of these fractures in all age groups during the study period. There were no complications encountered, such as avascular necrosis or late segmental collapse.
