Outcome of cloverleaf locking plate fixation for femoral neck fractures in young adults.

Abstract: Femoral neck fractures in young adults remain a major problem in orthopaedics. Although treatments using cannulated screws and sliding hip screws are widely accepted, they pose significant clinical challenges. In the present study, we evaluated the outcome of treatment using cloverleaf locking plate fixation (augmented with the addition of addition of nonvascularised autologous bone grafts for neglected fracture).
