[Indications and late results in the treatment of femur neck fractures with femur head arthroplasty]. 1978

W Dickreuter

On the basis of the case histories of 45 subcapital fractures of the femoral neck treated by hip arthroplasty (endoprothesis) indication and long-term results are demonstrated (average period after operation 54 months, longest period 16 years). Late complications (acetabular erosion, loosening) and possibilities to prevent them are discussed.
