We reviewed 32 patients who sustained an unstable intracapsular hip fracture, treated with an AO 130 degrees blade plate. The low incidence in complications (avascular necrosis 7%, delayed union 3%, no nonunion or loss of fracture reduction) compares favorably with previous reports. Experience with this highly demanding surgical technique is however essential to obtain good results.
