    <abstract locale="en_US">Femoral neck fracture is a global public health problem with 1.5 million hip fractures per year worldwide. However, there is no current consensus on the choice of ideal treatment. In this study, we aimed to answer the questions of when to choose internal fixation and arthroplasty, whether to do total hip arthroplasty or hemiarthroplasty, whether to use cemented or uncemented prosthesis, and whether to use a bipolar or unipolar design for hemiarthroplasty. We also discussed the complications associated with each method. We attempted to discuss these issues based on the latest literature and also presented the protocol of our institute in each subject.&#xA0;</abstract>
