Abstract

Abstract:

At present, patients with femoral neck fracture under 65 years old are generally treated with internal fixation. Studies have shown several difficulties associated with the gradual advancement of internal fixation, and these complications can affect the patients' prognosis following internal fixation. This paper summarizes the risk factors and categories of postoperative complications of internal fixation reported in literatures to get more insight into the types of issues and potential risks associated with internal fixation of femoral neck fracture. The goal of the study is to prevent or minimize the incidence of postoperative complications as much as possible, and reasonably judge its prognosis.

摘要：

目前，对于65岁以下的股骨颈骨折患者一般采用内固定的方式进行治疗。有研究发现，股骨颈骨折患者采用内固定治疗后存在多种并发症，影响患者预后。为进一步了解股骨颈骨折内固定术后并发症的类型及危险因素，本文对相关文献进行综合分析，旨在总结其发生因素及类型，尽可能避免或减少相关术后并发症的发生，并合理判断其预后。
