To determine factors predictive of early healing disturbances after fixation of femoral neck fracture, the radiographic and clinical data of 149 patients were subjected to a logistic regression analysis comparing them with the results 3 months postoperatively. As in previous studies, fracture reduction distinguished between fractures with or without healing disturbances. The following signs in the preoperative radiographs were predictive of unfavorable outcome: small head fragment, comminution of the calcar femorale, and varus angulation of the head. Fractures with negative predictive signs may be selected for primary arthroplasty.
