Case description

Dr. Ebraheim’s educational animated video describes the bursae / bursitis of the hip due to placement of fixation hardware. Femoral neck fracture: treatment • Reduction and pinning in young adults • Cannulated screws are used to fix fracture of femoral neck. Screw fixation of the femoral neck is done for impacted valgus fractures regardless of the age of the patient. the use of hardware with fixation of the proximal femur may result in irritation of the trochanter and development of painful bursitis. Hip bursitis may require injection of the bursa with steroids to calm down the inflammation. It also may require excision of the bursa and removal of the hardware.
