“…The introduction of the three‐flanged nail by Smith‐Petersen in 1931 (1) changed the entire concept of the management of patients with fracture of the neck of the femur. Recent appraisal (2–4) of end‐results indicates the problem is far from solved. The mortality has been lowered.…”

“…Although fractures of the neck of the femur are becoming more common (Buhr and Cooke 1959) and very large numbers of such fractures have been reported, no previous case of simultaneous bilateral femoral neck fracture in an elderly patient has been found in the literature. Stewart (1955), Cleveland and Fielding (1954), Evans (1949), Scott (1951), Kennedy et al (1957), Cristophe et al (1953) and Howard and Cristophe (1934) between them have reported nearly 1,000 fractures (all unilateral), and Taylor et al (1955) described 1,500 patients with no such case.…”

“…They also demonstrate a higher death rate in males, for which there is no explanation. It is noteworthy that little change has occurred in the mortality rate during the past fifteen years (2, 6, 9–14) in spite of the newer antibiotics and the better physiological postoperative care now available.…”

Although there have been innumerable reports in the past twenty-five years on the techniques and long-term results of internal fixation of fractures of the neck of the femur, very little attention has been paid to the more immediate problems of postoperative treatment in such patients, many of whom are elderly and often are suffering from other diseases before occurrence of the fracture.In an attempt to investigate the immediate prognosis for these fractures, we have analysed our results in a series of 157 patients whose hip fractures were treated by internal fixation during the six-year period, 1956-61. There is no attempt to assess the end-result uith regard to fracture healing and functional ability. The study is confined purely to the hospital morbidity and mortality following operation. Our chief aim has been to study the effects of the original condition of the patient on the immediate prognosis.
