Locking Plate Fixation with Multiple Telescoping Sliding Screws for Femoral Neck Fractures.

Background: Non-displaced femoral neck fractures are mostly treated with internal fixation, while in dis-placed fractures this surgical option is under debate and the benefits are still not clear. The purpose of this study was to identify the factors that affect the treatment of non-displaced and displaced hip fractures using a head-preserving plate.

Material And Methods: From August 2011 to May 2015, we reviewed eighty-two adult patients who had sustained undisplaced and displaced intracapsular femoral neck fracture treated with a locking plate system with telescoping sliding screws.
