dc.description.abstractBACKGROUND In this article, we aimed to discuss treatment strategies in fracture of the femoral head, which is a very rare injury. METHODS We reviewed five patients (six fractures) who admitted to our emergency department due to femoral head fracture between March 2006 and December 2007. Functional outcomes of the patients who were treated operatively and nonoperatively were compared. RESULTS Half of the fractures were treated nonoperatively and half of them surgically. We observed a rate of 50% excellent to good results. Avascular necrosis developed in a patient with bilateral injury. The functional results were poor for this patient. Early posttraumatic arthritis was observed in a patient who was treated surgically; this patient had moderate results. CONCLUSION We should aim at anatomic reduction of the fragments with minimum soft tissue injury. The best approach should be chosen for excellent view of the fragments. We should not forget that half of these patients will have a poor outcome despite all treatment strategies.en_US
