Description
In this detailed presentation, John Keating discusses the surgical management of hip fractures in younger patients, specifically focusing on a case involving a 28-year-old male driver who sustained an intracapsular hip fracture and a clavicle fracture following a high-speed motor vehicle accident. The talk outlines the initial assessment, treatment options, and surgical techniques employed for managing such fractures, emphasizing the importance of timely fixation to prevent avascular necrosis (AVN). Throughout the discussion, Keating solicits audience engagement through questions and hands-up polls regarding different surgical approaches, including closed versus open reduction techniques, as well as the use of various fixation methods such as cannulated screws and sliding hip screws.
