Abstract
The incidence of the femoral neck fracture is increasing, and the mechanism of the injuries is quite different in the young and elderly groups (high energy injury and osteoporosis, respectively). In the young group, early anatomical reduction and rigid fixation by such measures as multiple cannulated screws are mandatory to decrease the complications. In the elderly group, hip arthroplasty is recommended to decrease the complications due to early mobilization.
