Panel A shows the preoperative coronal view of the CT scan, revealing a right femoral head and neck fracture. Panel B shows the postoperative radiograph of internal fixation on the right femoral head and neck with two Herbert screws and three cannulated screws. Panel C x-ray taken four years later shows removal of cannulated screws from the right hip, with Herbert screws still in place on the femoral head, with no signs of avascular necrosis or post-traumatic arthritis.
