Comparative efficacy of femoral neck system vs. cannulated compression screws in young patients with femoral neck fractures: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The optimal method for internal fixation of femoral neck fractures in younger individuals remains a subject of debate. This meta-analysis systematically evaluates and compares the clinical outcomes of the femoral neck system (FNS) and cannulated compression screws (CCSs) within this demographic.

Methods

A comprehensive literature search was conducted across the Cochrane Library, PubMed, Web of Science, and Embase databases, covering studies from their inception through March 2024. The search targeted cohort studies that compared FNS (n = 265) and CCSs (n = 326) in patients aged 14-65 years with femoral neck fractures. The methodological quality of the studies was appraised using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. Statistical analyses were executed using Rev
