[Treatment outcome in femoral neck fractures].
Retrospective study of 372 patients with Garden III-IV type intracapsular femoral neck fractures performed in Clinic of Orthopedics and Traumatology, Kaunas University of Medicine, Kaunas Red Cross hospital. Ninety eight percent of them were operated: osteosynthesis for 302 patients, and arthroplasty for 63 patients. Evaluating results of treatment we paid attention on walking ability, pain in hip joint. Mean follow-up time was 1.5 years. Satisfactory results we received for 41.8%. The best results we received after total hip replacement and after osteosynthesis with modern fixation devices. Delayed surgery worsens results. Type of anesthesia did not influence results of osteosynthesis.
