Abstract
1. A review of 195 patients with displaced intracapsular fractures of the femoral neck treated by a sliding nail-plate appliance has been presented.
2. The highest failure rate was evident in fractures in women over seventy-five with Grade 4 displacement.
3. The effect of various concomitant factors has been analysed in relation to the end results.
4. Observations have been made on avascular necrosis, its incidence amongst the failures and its association with late segmental collapse after fracture union.
