The follow-up results for an average of 7.9 years were analyzed on 86 hips in 82 patients with intracapsular fracture of the femoral neck treated by internal fixation. The functional and X-ray results were not significantly different between the two groups of under and over 60 years of age. The internal fixation was thought to be a method of choice for intracapsular fracture of the femoral neck, even in the aged.
