[Factors influencing the results in the treatment of patients with femoral neck fractures (author's transl)]. 1976

P Lüthje, and P Rokkanen, and J Rönty, and O Pentti

The results of 213 consecutive operatively treated patients with fractures of the femoral neck were evaluated. Especially the effects of improved operative technique, careful pre- and postoperative care and intensified rehabilitation were observed. The series consisted of 151 women and 62 men, 111 femoral neck fractures and 102 trochanteric fractures. Nailing was performed on 54 femoral neck fracture patients and endoprothesis operation on 57 patients. No statistically significant differences were proved when the two consecutive two years series were compared with one another concerning the nailing results and the frequence of thrombosis and infection. However, by means of early weight-bearing and improved pre- and postoperative care the 6 months mortality decreased statistically significantly (chi2 = 6.58, p less than 0.05).
