In Japan's aging society, to preserve their level of activity the number of patients with intra-articular femoral neck fracture needing some surgical treatments is increasing steadily. The authors have treated these patients using the Hansson-pin hook system, a newly developed osteosynthesis procedure, from Nov. 1998. The authors compared the clinical results of fixation with Hansson-pins (13 cases) with these of Bipolor Hip Prosthesis (16 cases). Clinical results of the former were significantly better than these of the latter regarding surgical times, blood losses and periods of hospitalization. Bone union was speedy.
In conclusion, Hansson-pins hook system is a useful procedure for the treatment of intra-articular femoral neck fractures.
