Abstract: Fracture neck of femur is one of the most common fractures in the elderly population and its incidence is on the rise because of increased longevity; sedentary habits and osteoporosis. Surgical management remains the mainstay of the treatment so as to avoid the complications associated with conservative management which include bed sores; deep vein thrombosis and respiratory infections.
