Abstract
Mortality after fracture of the femoral neck remains high (18.2% at one year). There were no infections requiring revision in this series, but there were eleven cases of dislocation (5.4%). The difference in joint motion and quality-of-life between the pre- and postoperative assessment was not significant for the whole population, but one third of the patients who were independent preoperatively were not at last follow-up.
