Core Tip

Core Tip: We introduce a very rare hip fracture combined with a femoral head fracture, a femoral neck fracture, and a femoral intertrochanteric fracture. Locking plates combined with cannulated screws and Kirschner wires were used to treat the complex hip fractures and achieved good results. Complex hip fractures require appropriate internal fixation methods to be selected on the basis of specific classifications. After surgery, an individualized rehabilitation plan needs to be developed on the basis of the degree of internal fixation.
