[Total hip replacement in elderly and senile patients with initial femur neck fractures]

We carried out researches with the purpose of comparison of operative treatment results of femur neck fractures in elderly and senile patients with those in other countries. Total hip replacement technique was used over the period of 1991-2002 yy. for 123 patients with femur neck fractures. We have used "Smith & Nephews" or "Zimmer" prostheses with "Polacos" or "Osteobond" acrylcements. Surgical approach tactics is very important for prophylaxis of early and late postoperative complications. Active and of sound mind patients with femur neck fractures should undergo total hip replacement procedure.
