Three-dimensional reconstruction study of the displacement of impacted femoral neck fractures / 中华骨科杂志

ABSTRACT

ObjectiveTo measure the displacement parameters of the femoral head in space through CT three-dimensional reconstruction so as to re-understand impacted femoral neck fractures.MethodsFifty patients with impacted femoral neck fractures were included in the study.There were 17 males and 33 females.Bilateral proximal femurs of each patient were scanned by spiral CT preoperatively.Then these primitive CT data were reconstructed by Mimics 10.01 software.Registered the normal femur and fracture mirror model,the registered mirror model was generated a new mask in the CT cross-sectional images,marked key points in the masks and measured the displacement parameters of femoral head with three-dimensional measurement technology.ResultsIn the impacted femoral neck fractures,the femoral head displacement angle was 17.17°±10.40°,70％(35/50) of the patients had femoral head rotation angle was at 10° to 35°,and 30％(15/50) of the patients had femoral head space displacement more than 20°.The average displacement distance of femoral head center and the deepest point of fovea capitis were(6.49±3.60) mm and(10.42±5.92) mm,respectively.A high proportion of the impacted femoral neck fractures had a large of displacement in the three-dimensional space.It is not scientific to equal impacted femoral neck fractures to undisplaced fractures.ConclusionThree-dimensional reconstruction and digital measurement is a precise,efficient and convenient method for the measurement of femoral head displacement parameters in femoral neck fracture patients.The classic Garden classification for impacted femoral neck fractures has certain defects and limitations.Clinicians should re-understand impacted femoral neck fractures and choose more reasonable treatment.
