2. 1. Displaced Femoral Neck Fractures : A prospective randomized study of clinical outcome, nutrition and costs

   Author : Torsten Johansson; Ola Wahlström; Karl-Göran Thorngren; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Arthroplasty; replacement; hip; adverse effects; economics; fracture fixation; internal; femoral neck fractures; surgery; ossification; heterotropic; etiology; nutritional support; Orthopaedics; Ortopedi;

   Abstract : 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%. READ MORE

4. 2. Aspects on treatment of femoral neck fractures : studies on treatment methods, surgical approach and external validity

   Author : Sebastian Mukka; Arkan Sayed-Noor; Olof Sköldenberg; Lasse Lapidus; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Hip fracture; femoral neck fracture; treatment; total hip arthroplasty; hemiarthroplasty; internal fixation; surgical approach; outcome; dislocation; femoral offset; leg length discrepancy; external validity; ortopedi; Orthopaedics;

   Abstract : 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).

5. 3. Internal fixation of femoral neck fractures

   Author : Leif Hernefalk; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : Femoral neck fracture; osteotomy; internal fixation; device; technical principles; scintimetry; radiography; biomechanics; malposition; malreduction; complications; bone necrosis; revascularization; segmental collapse; non-union; elderly; osteoporosis; MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

   Abstract : 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.

6. 4. Femoral neck fractures. Aspects on treatment and outcome

   Author : Cecilia Rogmark; Ortopedi - klinisk och molekylär osteoporosforskning; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; orthopaedics; Surgery; outcome; treatment protocol; randomized controlled study; primary arthroplasty; internal fixation; femoral neck fractures; Hip fracture; incidence; traumatology; Kirurgi; ortopedi; traumatologi;

   Abstract : 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. READ MORE

7. 5. Quality of life and femoral neck fractures

   Author : Jan Tidermark; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Femoral neck fractures; Aged; Quality of life; Treatment outcome; Fracture fixation; internal; Arthroplasty; replacement; hip; Nutritional disorder; Anabolic steroids.;

   Abstract : 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. READ MORE
