Fraturas intracapsulares do colo femoral no idoso

Abstract: Currently, intracapsular femoral neck fracture (IFNF) is still a great challenge for orthopedists. In spite of the progress that has been made, a high mortality rate persists in the first year, especially in Brazil, where there is no awareness that such fractures in elderly patients should be treated as a medical emergency. The present article seeks to provide an update on the preoperative, surgical, and postoperative approaches.
