title: [Significance of the fracture type for treatment of femoral neck fractures].
abstract: The authors report on the results obtained with surgical treatment of 470 femoral neck fractures, which they analyzed with reference to the type of break. The found that a fracture line with a zig-zag course signified the best prognosis for both healing and stability, whereas fractures with a posterior fragment had a poorer prognosis. The results support the urgency of the operation and confirm the higher proportion of cases treated for jagged fractures among those with good results.
