title: [Femoral neck fractures: conservative or operative therapy in view of therapeutic results and rehabilitation].
abstract: The analysis of late results of 75 consecutive cases of abduction fractures of the femoral neck gave the following results: One third (24/75) of the patients must be operated because of a secondary dislocation. This secondary dislocation cannot be predicted. All the patients successfully treated conservatively can walk like before the accident. This confirms our therapeutic concept for abduction fractures of the femoral neck: Primary conservative treatment with immediate mobilization and weight bearing. Secondary operation for the cases with varus dislocation (one third).
