We reviewed the complications developing after treatment with wire traction for femoral neck fractures in thirty elderly female patients ranging in age from 69 to 90 years. Eight cases of wire movement, six cases of local infection, and nine cases of psychological symptoms were recorded during traction. Regarding the mobility of knee joint and quadriceps muscle power at four weeks postoperatively, no significant difference was found between traction through the distal part of the femur and the tibial tuberosity.
