  • Title: [Treatment of femoral neck fractures in the elderly patients with the compression screw].
    Author: Song GQ, Li XR, Yang HF.
    Journal: Hunan Yi Ke Da Xue Xue Bao; 2001 Jun 28; 26(3):277-8. PubMed ID: 12536707.
    Abstract:
    The treatment of 50 patients above 70 years with femoral neck fractures were reviewed. All the patients were treated by internal fixation with the compression screw. Followed-up 1-5 years reviews showed that the rate of fracture union was 83%, the satisfactory rate of the function was 96%, no death was found. It is suggested that internal fixation with compression screw may be a good treatment in the elderly patients with femoral neck fractures.
