Interventions
Patients with an undisplaced femoral neck fracture receive a hemi or total hip arthroplasty depending on each hospital's routine for patient age and mobility.
Patients with an undisplaced femoral neck fracture undergo a closed reduction and internal fixation with 2-3 screws or pins, or sliding hip screw device. Type of fixation depends on each hospital's routine.
