title: [Changes in the femoral neck in tabes dorsalis. Case report].
abstract: The authors analyze diagnostic and therapeutic problems in fractures associated with tabes dorsalis. In the foreground of the clinical picture are in the majority neurological symptoms. The first symptoms develop 15 years after the primary infection. The laboratory results are not decisive for the diagnosis. Previously treatment of these fractures was conservative in rare instances arthrodesis of the affected joint was performed. In the case-history the authors submit new therapeutic possibilities in fractures of the neck of the femur associated with tabes dorsalis, using total endoprostheses of the hip joint. The authors mention also possible complications. The subjective evaluation by the patient is, however, very favourable.
