The aims of this study were to evaluate the outcomes for young adult patients undergoing intracapsular hip fracture fixation and to assess factors associated with failure and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>From 2008 to 2018, 112 consecutive patients \u226460 years of age (mean age, 48 years [range, 20 to 60 years]; 54% male) were retrospectively identified as having undergone fixation of an intracapsular hip fracture. Displaced fractures (n = 81) were more common than nondisplaced or minimally displaced fractures (n = 31). Failure was defined as loss of fixation, nonunion, or osteonecrosis. PROMs that were assessed included the Oxford Hip Score (OHS), Forgotten Joint Score (FJS), EuroQol 5-Dimension (EQ-5D) index and Visual Analogue Scale (EQ-VAS), and University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) Activity Scale.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Eighty-six patients (77%) had union without evidence of failure, and 26 patients (23%) had a failure, including loss of fixation (6 patients; 5.4%), nonunion (5 patients; 4.5%), and osteonecrosis (16 patients; 14.3%). Overall, 39 patients (35%) required secondary surgery, with hardware removal (21 patients; 18.8%) and total hip arthroplasty (21 patients; 18.8%) being the most frequent procedures. Long-term functional outcomes were obtained for 81 patients (72%) at a mean of 7 years (range, 2.8 to 12.8 years). The median OHS was 47 (interquartile range [IQR], 40-48), the median FJS was 75 (IQR, 49-85), the median EQ-5D index was 1.00 (IQR, 0.77-1.00), and the median EQ-VAS was 90 (IQR, 70-95). The mean UCLA score fell from 6.8 preinjury to 6.0 postinjury (p &lt; 0.001). Compared with the patients who had primary union, those who had a complication had significantly lower median OHS scores (44.5 versus 47, p = 0.008), EQ-5D index scores (0.825 versus 1.00, p = 0.001), EQ-VAS scores (70 versus 90, p = 0.01), and UCLA scores (4.5 versus 6.5, p = 0.001).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>One in 4 young adult patients undergoing intracapsular hip fracture fixation had a failure.
