Femoral neck fractures in young adults are generally said to have a poor prognosis because of high energy trauma. We investigated twelve patients (twelve fractures) less than 51 years of age. Patient's age age ranged from 18 to 50 years(mean 31.7 years), and there were 10 males and 2 females. The mean follow-up period was 4.7 years. Fracture type is Garden stage III; 1 fracture, Evans type 1 group A; 4, group B; 1, group D; 2, type 2; 1, and subtrochanteric fracture; 1 fracture. The clinical assement consisted of physical exarmination using the JOA hip score and radiographs.Bone union was achieved in all patients. No patient had necrosis of the femoral head. The average JOA hip score was 95.1 points (range; 83 to 100).We concluded that in this study the clinical results were most influenced by the complications and the type of fractures.
