Hopefully, you saw the right sided femoral neck fracture. And hopefully you used a systematic approach to look at the fracture and describe it.

One approach uses the mnemonic OLDACIDS:

  • O: (open or closed) - no description of an open fracture was given
  • L: (location) - 
  • D: (degree) - 
  • A: (articular involvement) - none
  • C: (comminution/type) - subtrochenteric
  • I: (instrinsic bone quality) - normal
  • D: (displacement) - 
  • S: (soft tissue injury) -
