Overview

In 1600s, Ambrose Pare, a French surgeon described the neck of femur fracture. In 1825, Sir Astley Paston Cooper delineated between intracapsular fractures from other fractures about the hip. In 1858, Von-Langen Beck, the German surgeon performed the first internal fixation of the femoral neck fracture with silver-plated screws. In 1932, Johansson devised a guide pin for easy positioning of the nail. In 1936, Knowle advocated multiple threaded pins for stabilization of neck of femur fractures. In 1936, Mc Murray performed oblique osteotomy for non union fractures. In 1986, O.N. Nagi, V.K. Gautham and S.K. Smarya introduced cancellous screw fixation and fibular graft for comminuted femoral neck fractures.

Discovery

Landmark Events in the Development of Treatment Strategies

  • In 1858, Von-Langen Beck, the German surgeon performed the first internal fixation of the femoral neck fracture with silver-plated screws.[4][5][3]
  • In 1897, Royal Whitman advocated forcible manipulative reduction and immobilization in a hip spicca cast.
  • In 1931, Marius Nygard Smith Peterson from Boston was responsible for reviving and popularizing the procedure of internal fixation for femoral neck fractures.[6]
  • In 1932, Johansson devised a guide pin for easy positioning of the nail.
  • In 1936, Knowle advocated multiple threaded pins for stabilization of neck of femur fractures.
  • In 1936, Mc Murray performed oblique osteotomy for non union fractures.
  • In 1941, AAOS recommended for femoral neck The fracture was fixed with a three-wing nail.
  • In 1958, Muller popularized the ideas of laterally based wedge so as to keep the pseudorthrosis site at right angles to the deforming forces.[7][8]
  • In 1959, Massi introduced a sliding nail plate to fix neck of femur fracture.
  • In 1962, Judet described the role of quadratus femoris muscle pedicle graft as a method for improving blood supply to the head in displaced fracture and to promote union of the fracture.
  • In 1973, Weber and Cech reported good results after primary subtrochanteric valgus osteotomy in the management of femoral neck fractures.[9]
  • In 1975, Mayers used muscle pedicle graft to increase the blood supply to femoral head.[10]
  • In 1986, O.N. Nagi, V.K. Gautham and S.K. Smarya introduced cancellous screw fixation and fibular graft for comminuted femoral neck fractures.[11]
