Femoral Neck System Versus Total Hip Arthroplasty in the Treatment of Pauwels Type III Unstable Femoral Neck Fractures in Patients Aged 60–70 Years: A Comparative Analysis of Clinical Efficacy and Hip Function

Orthopaedic Surgery | 2026 | Xiangyu Zong, Kuishuai Xu, Xuechao Yu, Xinyu Cui

ABSTRACT Objective At present, there is no clear clinical consensus on the optimal surgical method for the specific population of patients aged 60–70 years with unstable Pauwels Type III femoral neck fractures. Few studies have investigated the efficacy of the Femoral Neck System (FNS) in hip‐preserving treatment for this patient group. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the...

Combined Deflection Angle Classification: A Novel Typing System of Adult Femoral Neck Fracture

Orthopaedic Surgery | 2023 | Ying Zhang, Qiang Yuan, Qiushi Wei, Yiping Dong

ObjectiveFemoral neck fracture (FNF) is a common clinical trauma with high mortality and disability rates. Furthermore, its incidence increases exponentially with increasing age. Existing classifications have some disadvantages. Thus, this study aimed to establish a novel typing system for FNF.MethodsWe retrospectively analyzed all adult patients with FNF admitted to our hospit...

The Significance of Evaluating the Femoral Head Blood Supply after Femoral Neck Fracture: A New Classification for Femoral Neck Fractures

Orthopaedic Surgery | 2022 | Dewei Zhao, Zihua Wang, Liangliang Cheng, Simiao Tian

AbstractObjectiveTo compare a new classification with the Garden classification by exploring their relationships with vascular injury.MethodsThis retrospective study enrolled 73 patients with subcapital femoral neck fracture from July 2015 to November 2018, including 32 males and 41 females with an average age of 47.2 years. All patients were classified by the Garden classifica...

Management of Neglected Femoral Neck Fracture in Young Adolescents with Modified Pauwels Osteotomy

International Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery | 2022 | Chinmoy Das, Ahmad Saifuddin, Debasish Bora

Background: Non-union of the femoral neck fracture in young is difficult to tackle. Many reported treatment methods for neglected femoral neck fractures do not always satisfactorily address the problems like non-union, coxa vara, and limb shortening. If the femoral head is viable, the most appropriate treatment is valgus osteotomy, which increases the femoral neck angle to chan...

Medial Plating of Pauwels Type III Femoral Neck Fractures Decreases Shear and Angular Displacement Compared with a Derotational Screw

Journal of Orthopaedic Trauma | 2020 | Chima D. Nwankwo, Patrick Schimoler, Victor Greco, Alexander Kharlamov

Objectives: The purpose of this mechanical study was to compare 2 methods of augmented stabilization of Pauwels type III femoral neck fractures. Methods: Ten matched pairs of young cadaveric femurs were cut 22 cm distal to the lesser trochanter. All specimens received a 70-degree osteotomy, which was stabilized with a 135-degree sliding hip screw. One of each pair received augm...
