Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Men or women with no upper age limit Femoral neck fracture confirmed by radiography of the hip and femur, computed tomography, or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) Operative treatment of fractures within 4 days of visiting the emergency room, or operation of non-displaced fractures within 7 days of visiting the emergency room. The patient was ambulatory before the fracture, although she may have used an aid such as a cane or walker Predictive medical optimization for hip surgery Provision of informed consent by the patient or designated legal representative Do not have any other major trauma such as another fracture, according to the supervisor's judgment

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Fixation of intracapsular fracture of femoral neck. Timepoint: The patient is followed up in the clinic for two weeks, one month, three months, six months and annually for up to 3 years to record clinical and radiological results. Method of measurement: After the operation, the clinical results will be evaluated in the form of scoring in each visit. Welding will be checked with graphs in face view with 15 degrees of internal rotation of the legs and profile view. The creation of trabeculae from between the fracture line will be considered as welding. Non-union is considered as no formation of said trabeculae, redistribution or progressive. Full weighting will be allowed by ensuring welding in the graph. If re-surgery is required, follow-up will be done before re-surgery. | — |
