Fractures of the femoral neck are the most common with the older population, and in this population are dominantly made by the forces of low strength intensity.
Aim: To show early complications ensued during the first 6 weeks after the surgical treatment of the older patients with fractures of the femoral neck.
Materials and method: 315 hospitalised patients are included within the retrospective analysis who are operated because of the fracture of the femoral neck in KBC Bezanijska Kosa in Belgrade, in the period 2007-2010.
Results: Early complications noted during the first 6 weeks after the surgery were: death of the patient 17 (5.3%), dislocation of the endoprosthesis 12 (3.8%), wound infection 8 (2.5%), pulmonary embolism 1 (0.3%), deep-vein thrombosis 6 (1.9%), lesion n. peroneusa 4 (1.2%), paraplegia 1 (0.3%), decubital wounds of sacral region 15 (4.8%).
Conclusion: Aloplastic surgery of dislocated fractures of the femoral neck with the older population enables relatively fast mobilisation of the patients, early rehabilitation of the patients with acceptable number of the early complications.
