1) THA produced better hip function than ORIF at all time-points as indicated by higher Harris Hip Scores. 2) Patients in the ORIF group experience complications earlier and required a major reoperation more frequently than THA patients. 1 Department of Anesthesia, Intensive Care Medicine, Emergency Medicine and Pain Medicine, Turku University Hospital, Turku, Finland 2 Department of Anesthesia, Intensive Care Medicine, Emergency Medicine and Pain Medicine, University of Turku and Turku Femoral head fractures occur in 6 to 16 percent of patients who have of displacement of the fragments and the overall stability of the joint. The femoral neck is the component of the femur bone located in between the femoral head (ball) and the femoral A 23-year-old woman was referred for evaluation of a right femoral neck pathologic fracture. Review of her pelvic computed tomography (CT) scan from the referring hospital revealed multiple lytic bony lesions in her pelvis bilaterally and in both proximal Aspenberg and colleagues said the records for 2008 included 12,777 femoral fractures of any type, including femoral neck and trochanteric breaks, among women 55 and older. That corresponds to a rate of 0.5%. Aspenberg and colleagues also found that The study examined 537 patients aged 65 years and over admitted with acute Fractured Neck Of Femur to hospital. Bilateral visual impairment (binocular visual acuity worse than 6/12) was found in 239 of 518 patients (46%). Of this group, the principal .

The femoral neck is the area between the shaft of the bone and the head of the femur (the "ball" that fits into the "socket" of the hip). Hip fractures are a major public health problem. In the U.S., the cost of hip fracture is approximately 7 billion Background: Surgery is the treatment of choice for Fractured Neck Of Femur. For middle-aged patients (aged ca. 40 to 65), there is considerable debate over the indications for arthroplasty or internal fixation. The choice of surgical technique varies They do not include fractures of femoral neck, intertrochanteric fractures, periprosthetic or pathological fractures. Until 2010, there was no uniform definition of AFFs, making comparison of published data difficult. The American Society of Bone and .
