Objective To evaluate the correlation between pelvic incidence (PI) angle, hip deflection angle (HDA), combined deflection angle (CDA) and osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) after femoral neck fracture, in order to explore early predictive indicators for ONFH occurrence after femoral neck fracture. Methods A study was conducted on patients with femoral neck fractures who underwent cannulated screw internal fixation between December 2018 and December 2020. Among them, 208 patients met the selection criteria and were included in the study. According to the occurrence of ONFH, the patients were allocated into ONFH group and non-NOFH group. PI, HDA, and CDA were measured based on the anteroposterior X-ray films of pelvis and axial X-ray films of the affected hip joint before operation, and the differences between the two groups were compared. The receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was used to evaluate the value of the above imaging indicators in predicting the occurrence of ONFH. ResultsAmong the 208 patients included in the study, 84 patients experienced ONFH during follow-up (ONFH group) and 124 patients did not experience ONFH (non-ONFH group). In the non-ONFH group, there were 59 males and 65 females, the age was 18-86 years (mean, 53.9 years), and the follow-up time was 18-50 months (mean, 33.2 months). In the ONFH group, there were 37 males and 47 females, the age was 18-76 years (mean, 51.6 years), and the follow-up time was 8-45 months (mean, 22.1 months). The PI, HDA, and CDA were significantly larger in the ONFH group than in the non-ONFH group (P<0.05). ROC curve analysis showed that the critical value of PI was 19.82° (sensitivity of 40.5%, specificity of 86.3%, P<0.05); the critical value of HDA was 20.94° (sensitivity of 77.4%, specificity of 75.8%, P<0.05); and the critical value of CDA was 39.16° (sensitivity of 89.3%, specificity of 83.1%, P<0.05). Conclusion There is a correlation between PI, HDA, CDA and the occurrence of ONFH after femoral neck fracture, in which CDA can be used as an important reference indicator. Patients with CDA≥39.16° have a higher risk of ONFH after femoral neck fracture.
