Role of valgus osteotomy and fixation with dynamic hip screw and 120° double angle barrel plate in the management of neglected and ununited femoral neck fracture in young patientsDOI: 10.1007/s10195-009-0049-3 Keywords: Neglected/ununited fracture neck femur,Valgus osteotomy,Dynamic hip screw and 120° double angle barrel plate Abstract: Valgus intertrochanteric osteotomy is a very cheap and effective procedure to achieve union in neglected and ununited fracture neck femur in young patients. We propose fixation with dynamic hip screw and 120° double angle barrel plate as it provides additional compression and, with valgus osteotomy, improved stability of internal fixation, with few complications.
