Open-access Intracapsular Femoral Neck Fractures in the Elderly*

AuthorshipSCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

    Abstract

    Currently, intracapsular femoral neck fracture (IFNF) is still a great challenge for orthopedists. In spite of the progress that has been made, a high mortality rate persists in the first year, especially in Brazil, where there is no awareness that such fractures in elderly patients should be treated as amedical emergency. The present article seeks to provide an update on the preoperative, surgical, and postoperative approaches.
