Reoperations and mortality in 383 patients operated with parallel screws for Garden I-II femoral neck fractures with up to ten years follow-up.

Introduction: The objective of this study was to identify indications and predictors for subsequent surgeries in the same hip and to evaluate life expectancy following screw fixation of undisplaced femoral neck fractures (FNF). The study further aimed to determine the necessary follow-up time for future studies aiming to evaluate the treatment of such fractures.

Materials And Methods: This is a single-center retrospective cohort study with prospectively collected data including skeletally mature patients with undisplaced FNFs operated between 2005 and 2013.
