Non-cannulated versus cannulated cancellous screws for the internal fixation of femoral neck fractures in osteoporotic patients: A single-blind randomized clinical trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The incidence of femoral neck fractures in osteoporotic patients is rising worldwide and is associated with significant increases in healthcare and social costs, as well as dependency. Improving minimally invasive treatment strategies, including internal fixation with screws, can result in favorable clinical outcomes and lesser incidence of complications, while preserving the hip. This study compared the outcomes of using non-cannulated cancellous screws (NCS) and cannulated cancellous screws (CS) in the internal fixation of undisplaced intracapsular femoral neck fractures (UIFNF) of osteoporotic patients of Iranian descent.

Methods

This randomized clinical trial was conducted on the patients referring to an institutional tertiary hospital in northwestern Iran bet
