Ninety-eight fractures of the femoral neck treated with a sliding screw-plate system were followed from 6 to 65 months. Two cases developing deep infection and four cases of primary technical failure were reoperated. Union was encountered in 80/92 of the fractures; 13/80 of the united fractures developed necrosis of the femoral head. Serious complications were thus encountered in 31/98 of the fractures, and 27 of these were reoperated. On the basis of comparison with reports on other methods for internal fixation, the sliding screw-plate method is recommended for fixation of femoral neck fractures.Downloads
