How is a femoral neck fracture fixed?
Your Orthopedic surgeon will reposition the fracture and hold it in place with an internal device. Pins (surgical screws) are used if you are younger and more active, or if your broken bone has not moved much out of place. If you are older and less active, you may need a high strength metal device that fits into your hip socket, replacing the head of your femur (hemiarthroplasty).
