Лечение на фрактурите на бедрената шийка до началото на ХХ век
Treatment of femoral neck fractures until the early ХХth century

Summary/Abstract: Today, the intracapsular fracture of the femoral neck is still defined as an injury, associated with uncertain prognosis and an unacceptably high rate of complications following internal fixation surgery; however, 100 years ago, this fracture was defined as a devastating condition. Nowadays, more than a century after the first attempts of internal fixation and 70 years after the introduction of the first hip endoprosthesis, debate still continues about which is the optimum approach in treatment of this fracture. The present study follows the multidirectional views and tendencies in the history of the femoral neck fracture treatment back in the past 200 years.
