Outcomes of Headed and Headless Cannulated Screws Fixation in Nondisplaced Femoral Neck Fracture.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The incidence of femoral neck fracture is increasing as society ages. Different types of cannulated screws can be used for internal fixation of femoral neck fractures, but no screw selection protocol has been determined to reduce the risk of operation failure. This retrospective study aimed to elucidate differences in outcomes between using cannulated compression screws and headless compression screws for fixation in nondisplaced femoral neck fractures.

Methods

Adults aged 18 years and older with non-displaced femoral neck fracture, admitted between February 2016 and January 2022, and received fixation using three screws in an inverted triangle configuration were selected for this retrospective study. After exclusions, patients were separated into four groups base
