♦ Intracapsular fractures are classified by division into those fractures that are essentially undisplaced and those that are displaced

♦ Undisplaced fractures are generally treated by reduction and internal fixation

♦ Displaced fractures may be treated by reduction and internal fixation but this incurs the potential complications of re-displacement of the fracture, non-union, and avascular necrosis

♦ Displaced fractures in the elderly are generally treated with a replacement arthroplasty.
