Due to extreme conditions during civil war in early 1990's we were forced to deviate from accepted guidelines in treatment of intracapsular fractures of the femoral neck. Therefore, majority of patients were treated non-operatively. In those that were subjected to surgery, unipolar hemiarthroplasty was treatment of choice, since conditions permitted us to attempt osteofixation in very few, youngest of our patients. As a result of this practice born of necessity, we can now look back and learn from this unique experience.
