Abstract:
A total of 80 femoral head replacements for recent fractures were reviewed with special attention to local complications. In 50 cases a posterior approach was used by one surgeon, in 30 an anterolateral approach by the other surgeon. As there were no serious local complications in either group, we found no differences between the two approaches.
