The clinical and radiological course of 117 patients with a femur head prosthesis and a medial fracture of the neck of the femur is reported. In 1981 the range of indications was extended, including now all types of fracture in the elderly except those fractures that are impacted or not dislocated. By the date of follow-up in summer 1982 68 patients had died. In 29 of these mobilization had failed at all because of their bad general state of health, whereas 39 patients were able to walk from one month up to four years before they eventually died. Follow-up of the 49 patients that are alive showed that 24 can walk without any support, whereas 21 have to use a walking-stick or crutches. The remaining four patients are unable to walk because of old age debility.
