Finite Element Analysis of Six Internal Fixations in the Treatment of Pauwels Type III Femoral Neck Fracture.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The current investigation sought to utilize finite element analysis to replicate the biomechanical effects of different fixation methods, with the objective of establishing a theoretical framework for the optimal choice of modalities in managing Pauwels type III femoral neck fractures.

Methods

The Pauwels type III fracture configuration, characterized by angles of 70°, was simulated in conjunction with six distinct internal fixation methods, including cannulated compression screw (CCS), dynamic hip screw (DHS), DHS with de-rotational screw (DS), CCS with medial buttress plate (MBP), proximal femoral nail anti-rotation (PFNA), and femoral neck system (FNS). These models were developed and refined using Geomagic and SolidWorks software. Subsequently, finite element a
