Sliding-nail-plate osteosynthesis of displaced medial fractures of the femoral neck was carried out in 65 consecutive cases. The appliance presented here differs from other sliding-nail plates as it has no fixed angle between the nail and the plate. Immediate postoperative weight-bearing was permitted. The average follow-up period was 2.2 years. Union of the fractures was seen in 74 per cent and avascular necrosis in 21 per cent. Complications were few, which we attribute to the early mobilization of the patients.Downloads
