[Treatment of medial fractures of the femoral neck by prosthetic replacement of the femoral head].
At the Surgical University Clinic in Jena, between 1974 and 1978, an endoprothetic head of the femur was implanted in 92 patients with medial fractures of the femoral neck. 15% of these patients died within the first 3 weeks after the operation, 21% within the first year after the operation. 26 patients could be followed-up. In 21 of these patients the results were considered to be good or satisfactory. These results and the reports of other authors have shown, that under certain conditions discussed in this paper it is a good principle to perform an endoprothetic implantation of the head and of the femur in patients with medial fractures of the femoral neck.
