[Treatment of femoral neck fractures using carbon implants].

The article generalizes the experience in the use of endoprostheses of carbon materials in fractures of the femoral neck in elderly individuals. Twenty-seven cases are discussed, the average age of the patients was 76 years. Owing to the possibility of forming from carbon materials a device which meets the functional demands of the organs and tissues, such widely encountered complications in endoprosthesis as stretching of the implant's pedicle and destruction of the device were avoided.
