The age of the patients was ranging from 20 – 50year ,The result of our study was indicated that union rate of 85% , and 25% of vascular necrosis.
Conclusions:
the cannulated hip screws is a good method of fixation regarding union rate and low complication rate , the result of treatment is influenced mainly by the fracture displacement and quality of reduction and time of surgery.
