Repositioning of fracture and luxation: Open repositioning of a simple fracture in the joint area of a long bone: Open repositioning of an epiphyseal separation without osteosynthesis: Neck of femur
The neck of your femur has been surgically straightened.
The femur has an upper, middle and lower section. The upper section of the femur is connected to the pelvic bones by the hip joint. The upper section includes the neck and head of the femur plus 2 bony protrusions. The bony protrusions lie between the neck of the femur and its central section. The neck of the femur is set at an angle to the central section. There is a growth plate between the head and the neck of the femur.
In children and adolescents the bone’s growth stems from the growth plates. There are growth plates in the long bones in the arms and legs, and the long bones in the hands and feet. There is a growth plate at each end of these bones.
The growth plate between the head and neck of the femur became detached.
The parts of your femoral neck were surgically put back into their usual position.
