Revision rates after surgical treatment for femoral neck fractures: results of 2-year follow-up.

Background And Objective: Intracapsular fractures of the femoral neck account for a major share of fractures in the elderly. Open reduction and internal fixation has been shown to have a higher rate of revision surgery than arthroplasty. The aim of this study was to assess and compare the rates of revision surgery performed after internal fixation and primary total hip arthroplasty.

Mortality after femoral neck fractures: a two-year follow-up.

Background And Objective: To identify the survival and standardized mortality ratio with respect to gender, age, and treatment method of patients treated for femoral neck fractures.

Material And Methods: A retrospective review of medical records of 736 patients treated for femoral neck fractures at Vilnius University Emergency Hospital during 2004-2006 was carried out.

Results: The overall 1- and 2-year survival rates were 77.
