title: [Treatment of femoral neck fractures in the elderly patients with the compression screw].
abstract: The treatment of 50 patients above 70 years with femoral neck fractures were reviewed. All the patients were treated by internal fixation with the compression screw. Followed-up 1-5 years reviews showed that the rate of fracture union was 83%, the satisfactory rate of the function was 96%, no death was found. It is suggested that internal fixation with compression screw may be a good treatment in the elderly patients with femoral neck fractures.
