Abstract
Numerous problems have been reported on the hemiplegic patients who are complicated with the femoral neck fracture. Recent studies have shown that the prognosis of these cases are grave, not only the walking, but the life.
The following results were obtained by us with 41 cases of these patients including outpatients.
1. The incidence increases markedly in the latter half of the sixth decade in women.
2. In many cases, the fracture occured accidentally by the falling down on the floor, during their hospitalization.
3. For the prognosis of walking, there was no differences between the types of the fracture (trochanteric or intracapsular), among 33 cases, who were able to walk before the accident. For the treatment, it is suggested that the walking prognosis of the open reduction is better than that of the traction method.
