Femoral Neck Fractures · trauma

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

• BUrgent anatomic reduction and fixation; this is not the elderly arthroplasty algorithm
• CSkeletal traction for 48 hours to “let the hematoma declare”
• DProtected weight bearing in a hip spica as definitive care
