AIM: With the growing number of elderly people in the population and the increasing incidence of proximal hip fractures the question of how to manage the medial hip head fracture is of increasing importance. Especially in Hungary and the Scandinavian countries surgeons prefer hip head-conserving therapy although the redislocation of this fracture and necrosis of the hip head opposes this point of view. METHOD: Encouraged by two theoretical and mathematical calculations, we tested two different possibilities to screw hip head fractures. RESULTS: Our results show that the hip head-conserving therapy with two cranial screws and a three-point-supported screw at Adam's arc has essential biomechanical advantages compared with the situation after conventional osteosynthesis. CONCLUSION: This result encourages us to prefer the minimally invasive head-conserving therapy of medial hip head fractures, especially for treatment of Pauwell's I and II injuries.
