Revision rate of displaced femoral neck fractures in non-elderly adults: a retrospective comparative study of the femoral neck system and cannulated screws.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Displaced femoral neck fractures are associated with a high revision rate. The new femoral neck system(FNS) offers advantages in fixation stability, potentially reducing the need for revision. The purpose of this study was to compare the revision rate of patients with different reduction quality treated with the FNS and cannulated screws (CS).

Methods

This retrospective study included patients with Garden III or IV femoral neck fractures who underwent osteosynthesis in a level 1 trauma center between July 2019 and June 2023. A total of 141 cases met the inclusion criteria and received treatment with either the FNS (N = 65) or CS (N = 76). The quality of fracture reduction, surgical complications (such as femoral neck shortening, avascular necrosis of femoral head,
