Abstract
We treated femoral neck fractures with the proximal femoral nail (PFN), based on good results achieved in the past for internal fixation of femoral neck fracture on a cose with double fracture of the femoral neck and peritrochanteric. There were 12 cases; 3 males and 9 females, Seven cases had femoral neck basement fracture and 5 had femoral neck fracture (femoral neck and peritrochanteric fracture in 1 case). The average age of the patients was 82.6 years (range from 75 to 92 years). All cases showed good results for osseous union. PFN might at least prevent rotational instability of the femoral head in femoral neck basement fracture and femoral neck fracture.
