1. Displaced Femoral Neck Fractures : A prospective randomized study of clinical outcome, nutrition and costs
Sammanfattning : Displaced femoral neck fractures comprise more than a third of all hip fractures. There is controversy as to the optimal treatment. Despite attempts to improve the methods for internal fixation, complication rates have been almost unchanged: 20-40% non-union and late segmental collapse in another 10-20%. LÄS MER
2. Aspects on treatment of femoral neck fractures : studies on treatment methods, surgical approach and external validity
Sammanfattning : Femoral neck fracture (FNF) is a great challenge for today´s health care and is associated with high mortality and morbidity in the elderly. In the short term several studies in the literature have demonstrated improved hip function, quality of life and fewer re-operations in elderly patients treated with total hip arthroplasty (THA) instead of internal fixation (IF).

3. Internal fixation of femoral neck fractures
Sammanfattning : The incidence of femoral neck fractures in elderly people is rising requiring large health care resources. Internal fixation of the fracture is the treatment of choice in Scandinavia, but in 20-40% of the cases a late complication such as a segmental collapse of the femoral head after initial bone necrosis, or a non-union of the fracture because of non-healing, will occur.

4. Femoral neck fractures. Aspects on treatment and outcome
Sammanfattning : Hip fractures are a common cause of morbidity and mortality in elderly patients, with a high risk of functional impairment and institutionalization. The incidence and number of hip fractures have increased during the recent decades and hip fractures consume considerable health-care resources. LÄS MER
5. Quality of life and femoral neck fractures
Sammanfattning : The worldwide increase of hip fractures is a major challenge for the health care system and society. The treatment of femoral neck fractures in the elderly is still controversial, and even more so from an international perspective. LÄS MER
