Abstract
In a prospectively planned follow-up study 383 cases of displaced medial fractures of the femoral neck were allocated either to Smith-Petersen Osteosynthesis or to sliding-nail-plate Osteosynthesis. Two hundred and forty-nine cases were followed for more than 2 years. The two differently treated groups were alike. The results showed that sliding-nail-plate Osteosynthesis was significantly superior to Smith-Petersen Osteosynthesis. We recommend that Smith-Petersen Osteosynthesis be abandoned.Keywords
