title: [The methods of shorting of proximal femoral and total hip arthroplasty for old femoral neck fracture with severe hip joint dislocation].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To discuss the effective method and outcome to old femoral neck fracture with severe hip joint dislocation.
  
  
  METHODS
  From April 1996, 7 cases of old femoral neck fracture with severe hip joint dislocation were treated by the shorting of posterior femoral and total hip arthroplasty.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The average age of 7 patients was 51 years old and the mean follow-up was 27.3 months. The mean Harris score was improved to 84.3 from 36.7 before operation in the latest follow-up. The prosthesis position of acetabular and femoral was excellent, there was no sinking or softening of artificial joint, nonunion of femoral osteotomy.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The preliminary clinical results are quite satisfactory of the shorting of posterior femoral and total hip arthroplasty to old femoral neck fracture with severe hip joint dislocation, the follow-up is necessary for further long-term outcome.
