Q-8 · Femoral Neck Fractures · trauma · A–E keys

A 27-year-old has a displaced femoral neck fracture after a high-energy crash. The next orthopedic priority is:

• A.Hemi-arthroplasty, because displacement always dooms the head
• B.Urgent anatomic reduction and fixation; this is not the elderly arthroplasty algorithm
• C.Skeletal traction for 48 hours to “let the hematoma declare”
• D.Protected weight bearing in a hip spica as definitive care
