Femoral neck system versus cannulated screws for fixation of femoral neck fracture in young adults: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Femoral neck fracture treatment in young adults remains controversial. Cannulated screws (CS) and femoral neck system (FNS) are well-accepted methods for femoral neck fracture treatment; however, these methods are associated with complications. This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the relative safety and effectiveness of CS and FNS for treating young patients with femoral neck fractures.

Methods

We searched the following sources for studies that compared CS and FNS fixation: Cochrane library, Embase, PubMed, Web of Science, Wanfang data, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, China Biology Medicine disc, and Chinese Science and Technology Journals. The outcomes were surgical and prognostic results and complications.

Results

This meta-analysis included eight
