Definition of ideal configuration for femoral neck screw fixation in older people.

ABSTRACT: Femoral neck fractures are the most common injuries encountered by older individuals, and they are associated with high mortality and morbidity. Internal fixation to femoral neck fracture with cannulated screws placed with a configuration of an inverted triangle remain a feasible and effective treatment for femoral neck fractures. The objection of this research was to evaluate the femoral neck morphology, especially the shape of the femoral neck in Chinese people to find the optimal screw position and interval between the screws. 96 consecutive normal subjects without any previous proximal femur operation were reviewed. The patients' information were collected from our database. The minimum of neck canal height (NCHM), neck canal width (NCWM) and inclination angle (AIA and PIA) were measur
