Introduction: In our study, it was aimed to compare the results of adult patients hospitalized with the diagnosis of femoral neck fracture and applied internal fixation with cannulated screws with the results of the literature. Method: In our study; The results of femoral neck fracture between August 2010 and August 2012 were included in the study. Fracture union, delayed union, avascular necrosis and arthrosis were evaluated in the patients. Evaluation of avascular necrosis of our patients was performed according to the Ficat-Arlet classification. Functional outcomes were evaluated according to the Harris hip score. Results: The mean follow-up period of our patients was 32 months (24-48 months). In the follow-up, 16 patients recovered without any problems. Nonunion was detected in 4 of our patients. When our patients were evaluated according to the Ficat-Arlet avascular necrosis classification; Avascular necrosis was detected in 4 patients. The average duration of surgery for these 4 patients was 7 days. When our patients were evaluated according to the Harris hip numerical evaluation scale; Excellent results were obtained in 5 patients, very good results in 8 patients, good results in 4 patients, moderate results in 2 patients, and poor results in 1 patient. Conclusion: Complication rate is high in femoral neck fractures. In order to reduce the rate of avascular necrosis, nonunion and other complications seen in patients who have undergone fixation, appropriate and acceptable reduction of the fracture should be achieved and a stable fixation should be applied as soon as possible.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
