Femoral neck fractures seldom occur in hips with a significant degree of osteoarthritis Experience with three hitherto undescribed fractures around hip nails suggests that the ridge of new bone which forms on the inferior part of the femoral neck in osteoarthritis increases the strength of the neck,
For 5 years following nailing of their cervical hip fractures 40 patients were repeatedly subjected to 85Sr-scintimetry, radiography, and clinical examinations. The mean age of the patients was 73 years (range: 38-93); 13 fractures healed without complications, 22 developed necrosis of the femoral h
The fate of the articular cartilage of the hip joint with intracapsular neck fracture was studied by histological, histochemical and autoradiographic techniques and by using a polarized microscope and a scanning electron microscope. Cartilage specimens from 93 femoral heads and 7 acetabula were obt
