What this Trial Is About
Femoral head fractures, often caused by high-energy trauma, pose significant challenges due to complications like avascular necrosis, post-traumatic osteoarthritis, and sciatic nerve damage. While traditionally treated with open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) or total hip replacement (THR), hip arthroscopy has emerged as a minimally invasive alternative that reduces surgical trauma, offers direct fracture visualization and manipulation, and may result in shorter recovery times and fewer complications.
