Cases:
Concomitant ipsilateral intracapsular and extracapsular fractures of the femoral neck, also termed "segmental fracture neck femur," are rare injuries, especially in physiologically young patients. We present 3 such cases that successfully underwent operative fixation with an extramedullary implant.
Conclusion:
Good clinical outcomes may be obtained after osteosynthesis with extramedullary fixation devices in concomitant ipsilateral intracapsular and extracapsular fractures of the femoral neck in young patients (<60 years). They should be followed for a long duration to look for avascular necrosis.

Changes in the Appendicular Skeleton with Age
Initially, the limb buds consist of a core of mesenchyme covered by a layer of ectoderm. The ectoderm at the end of the limb bud thickens to form a narrow crest called the apical ectodermal ridge. This ridge stimulates the underlying...

Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...
