Intracapsular femoral neck fractures: indications for internal fixation

Abstract

The main indications for internal fixation of intracapsular fractures are undisplaced and minimally displaced fractures and displaced intracapsular fractures in patients aged under seventy years. Closed reduction is to be preferred to open reduction. Different implants may have to be used, with current practice favouring two or three parallel cannulated cancellous screws. Attention to surgical details of fracture reduction and implant positioning will minimise the risk of complications.
