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% inte rnal fixation was performed, while in 16% total hip endoprosthesis was done. Of these patients 254 were reexamined three years later. In onl y 24.4% of the 254 patients were poor results - necrosis of the femora l head - found.
