Osteosynthesis in fractures of the femoral neck in the young adult.

The authors report 21 cases of fracture of the femoral neck in the young adult followed-up after a minimum of 2 years, which is a sufficient amount of time to be able to evaluate cephalic necrosis. The results obtained with the various methods of osteosynthesis were: excellent: 38%; good: 33.5%; fair: 9.5%; poor: 19%. Emphasis is made on the effectiveness of the Garden classification system for prognosis and treatment, and several aspects of the method used are discussed.
