Abstract
1. Seventy patients with impacted fractures of the femoral neck treated from 1953 to 1965 have been reviewed. Forty-seven were treated conservatively and twenty-three by primary internal fixation. 2. The complications of both methods of treatment are recorded. 3. The prognosis following impacted femoral neck fractures is good. Seventy-nine per cent treated conservatively and 96 per cent treated by primary internal fixation had excellent or good results. 4. Primary internal fixation is the treatment of choice.
