Abstract | A total of 351 femoral neck fractures were treated from 1986 to 1987. The fractures were classified into three groups according to Pauwels. Nineteen percent of fractures were treated conservatively; in 65 percent internal fixation was performed, while in 16 percent total hip endoprosthesis was done. Of these patients 254 were reexamined three years later. In only 24.4 percent of the 254 patients were poor results--necrosis of the femoral head--found. | |
