Femoral neck fractures are a commonly encountered injury in orthopaedic practice and
result in significant morbidity and mortality. It is essential that surgeons are able to recognize …

Background Femoral neck fractures typically occur as a result of high-energy mechanisms
among non-geriatric patients. Complications, including femoral neck shortening, non-union …

Introduction: Hip fractures represent an important health-care dilemma, costing the US $
billions annually. Hip fractures can diminish quality of life and significantly increase …

Background: Intracapsular femoral neck fractures are associated with high rates of
nonunion. We aimed to identify risk factors for nonunion in patients with both displaced and …

Objective: Femoral neck fractures in young individuals are typically high angled shear
fractures. These injuries are difficult to stabilize due to a strong varus displacement force …

Background: First introduced in 2005, the “Intertan”(IT), an intramedullary nail with two
cephalocervical screws, has become an increasingly popular option for treating …

Vertical femoral neck fractures in patients younger than 65 years of age often require hip‐
conserving surgeries. However, traditional fixation strategies using three parallel cannulated …

Purpose Screw fixation (osteosynthesis) can be performed percutaneously by interventional
radiologists. We report our experience in cancer patients. Material/methods We …

Background: Accurate placement of cannulated screws is essential to ensure secure fixation
of femoral neck fractures. We compared computerized navigation and conventional …

Objectives. In the present study, we evaluated the mechanical outcome of different
configurations of cannulated compression screws for the fixation of Pauwels type III femoral …
