Abstract
Objective To compare the effectiveness of biplanar vertical fixation and inverted triangle fixation with hollow screw for Pauwels type Ⅲ femoral neck fracture in young and middle-aged patients. Methods The clinical data of 55 young and middle-aged patients with Pauwels type Ⅲ femoral neck fracture between June 2021 and December 2022 was retrospectively analyzed. All patients were treated with closed reduction and internal fixation with hollow screws, 25 cases were treated with biplanar vertical fixation (study group), 30 cases with inverted triangle fixation (control group). There was no significant difference in gender, age, affected side, cause of injury, underlying diseases, and time from injury to operation between the two groups ( P>0.05). The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, fluoroscopy times, guide needle puncture times, starting time of weight bearing, time of full weight bearing, time of fracture healing, and complications were recorded and compared between the two groups. The hip joint function was evaluated by Harris score at 1 day, 6 months, 12 months after operation, and at last follow-up, and the pain relief was evaluated by visual analogue scale (VAS) score. The femoral neck shortening was measured on the X-ray film at last follow-up. Results All patients were followed up 12-31 months (mean, 22.0 months), and there was no significant difference in follow-up time between the two groups ( P>0.05). The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, and fluoroscopy times in the study group were higher than those in the control group, but the difference was not significant ( P>0.05). The guide needle puncture times in the study group was more than that in the control group, and the time of starting weight bearing and the time of full weight bearing in the study group were shorter than those in the control group, the differences were significant ( P<0.05). Bony healing was achieved in both groups, and there was no significant difference in fracture healing time between the two groups ( P>0.05). No osteonecrosis of the femoral head and incision-related complication was found in the two groups during follow-up, and the femoral neck shortening length in the study group was significantly shorter than that in the control group at last follow-up ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in Harris score between the two groups at 1 day after operation ( P>0.05), and the Harris score of the study group was significantly better than that of the control group at other time points ( P<0.05); there was no significant difference in VAS score between the two groups at each time point after operation ( P>0.05). Conclusion Compared with the inverted triangle fixation, the treatment of Pauwels type Ⅲ femoral neck fracture with biplanar vertical fixation can effectively reduce femoral neck shortening without affecting fracture healing, and improve hip joint function in early stage.

Abstract
Objective This meta-analysis aimed to compare the relative safety and efficacy of cannulated compression screw (CCS) and femoral neck system (FNS) in treating patients with femoral neck fractures and to provide evidence-based medical evidence for FNS in treating femoral neck fractures. Methods PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure databases were searched to collect outcomes related to femoral neck fractures treated with FNS and CCS, including time to fracture healing, incidence of non-union, incidence of osteonecrosis of the femoral head, incidence of failure of internal fixation, rate of femoral neck shortening, Harris hip score, Barthel index, operative time, intraoperative blood loss, fluoroscopy frequency, and complications. A meta-analysis was performed using RevManv5.4 (The Cochrane Collaboration) and Stata v14.0 software. Results This analysis included 21 studies involving 1,347 patients. The results showed that FNS was superior to CCS in terms of fracture healing time [mean difference (MD) = -0.75, 95% CI = (-1.04, -0.46), P < 0.05], incidence of bone non-union [odds ratio (OR) = 0.53, 95% CI = (0.29, 0.98), P = 0.04], incidence of osteonecrosis of the femoral head [OR = 0.49, 95% CI = (0.28, 0.86), P = 0.01], incidence of internal fixation failure [OR = 0.30, 95% CI = (0.18, 0.52), P < 0.05], rate of femoral neck shortening [OR = 0.38, 95% CI = (0.27, 0.54), P > 0.05], Harris hip score [MD = 3.31, 95% CI = (1.99, 4.63), P < 0.001], Barthel index [MD = 4.31, 95% CI = (3.02, 5.61), P < 0.05], intraoperative bleeding [MD = 14.72, 95% CI = (8.52, 20.92), P < 0.05], fluoroscopy frequency [OR = 0.53, 95% CI = (0.29, 0.98), P = 0.04], and complications [OR = 0.31, 95% CI = (0.22, 0.45), P < 0.05]. The difference between FNS and CCS in operative time was not statistically significant [MD = -2.41, 95% CI = (-6.88, 2.05), P = 0.29]. Conclusion FNS treatment of femoral neck fracture can shorten the fracture healing time; reduce the incidence and translucent rate of bone non-union, osteonecrosis of the femoral head, and internal fixation failure; reduce intraoperative blood loss and postoperative complications; and improve hip joint function and activity. We are confident in the findings that FNS, an effective and safe procedure for internal fixation of femoral neck fractures, is superior to CCS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recently, some studies on the efficacy of the femoral neck system (FNS) in treating femoral neck fractures (FNFs) have been published. Therefore, a systematic review was performed to clarify the efficacy and safety of FNS versus cannulated screws (CS) for the treatment of FNFs. METHOD The PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane databases were systematically searched for studies comparing FNS and CS fixations in FNFs. Intraoperative indicators, postoperative clinical indicators, postoperative complications, and postoperative scores were compared between the implants. RESULTS A total of eight studies were included in the study, involving 448 FNFs patients. The results showed that patients in FNS group were significantly lower than the CS group in the number of X-ray exposures (WMD = -10.16; 95% CI, -11.44 to -8.88; P < 0.001; I2 = 0%), fracture healing time (WMD = -1.54; 95% CI, -2.38 to -0.70; P < 0.001; I2 = 92%), length of femoral neck shortening (WMD = -2.01; 95% CI, -3.11 to -0.91; P < 0.001; I2 = 0%), femoral head necrosis (OR = 0.27; 95% CI, 0.08 to 0.83; P = 0.02; I2 = 0%), implant failure/cutout (OR = 0.28; 95% CI, 0.10 to 0.82; P = 0.02; I2 = 0%), and Visual Analog Scale Score (WMD = -1.27; 95% CI, -2.51 to -0.04; P = 0.04; I2 = 91%). And the Harris Score was significantly higher in the FNS group than in the CS group (WMD = 4.15; 95% CI, 1.00 to 7.30; P = 0.01; I2 = 89%). CONCLUSIONS Based on this meta-analysis, FNS shows better clinical efficacy and safety in treating FNFs compared to CS. However, due to the limited quality and number of included studies and the high heterogeneity of the meta-analysis; large samples and multicenter RCTs are needed to confirm this conclusion in the future.

Survivability of the Femoral Neck System for the treatment of femoral neck fractures in adults. EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF ORTHOPAEDIC SURGERY & TRAUMATOLOGY : ORTHOPEDIE TRAUMATOLOGIE 2023:10.1007/s00590-023-03474-5. [PMID: 36645494 DOI: 10.1007/s00590-023-03474-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/15/2022] [Accepted: 01/09/2023] [Indexed: 01/17/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Hip fractures are common injuries in the elderly, with an incidence that continues to rise. The femoral neck system (FNS) recently emerged as a novel treatment option for femoral neck fractures, but long-term survivability of the implant remains uncertain. The purpose of this study is to evaluate survivability of the FNS and assess risk factors for implant failure. METHODS One hundred five adult patients who received the FNS (DePuy Synthes, Raynham, MA) for femoral neck fractures (AO/OTA 31B) were included. Surgeries were performed within a regional hospital system comprising 18 facilities. All patients had a minimum follow-up of 1 year. The primary outcome measures were cumulative incidence of implant failure and 1-year mortality, including risk factor analysis. RESULTS Twelve implants failed at a follow-up ranging from 17 days to 8 months, and 7 failed within 90 days. Cumulative incidence of implant failure was 2% at 30 days, 7% at 90 days, 12% at 6 months, and 13% at 1 year. Causes of implant failure included cut-out (n = 5), non-union (n = 4), peri-implant fracture (n = 2), and avascular necrosis (n = 1). Univariate Cox regression identified Pauwels type III fractures and an increasing AP Parker ratio as significant risk factors for failure. Pauwels type III fractures showed a 5.48 times higher risk compared to Pauwels types I & II. Every 10% increase in AP Parker ratio increased risk of failure by 2.39 times. The 1-year mortality rate was 21%, and univariate logistic regression identified age as the only risk factor (odds ratio = 3.71). CONCLUSIONS The incidence of implant failure and 1-year mortality rate in this study suggests that the FNS can provide reliable fixation compared to rates in the literature, but complications are not uncommon. Avoiding Pauwels type III fractures and optimizing implant placement appear crucial to preventing implant failure. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Therapeutic Level IV.

Abstract
Objective To summarize the research progress of femoral neck system (FNS) in the treatment of femoral neck fracture in young and middle-aged patients. Methods The literature on FNS at home and abroad in recent years was extensively reviewed, and the results of mechanical and clinical studies on FNS were summarized based on clinical experience. Results FNS has good mechanical stability, which can reduce complications such as femoral neck shortening, internal fixation failure, and varus caused by mechanical instability. At present, FNS is mainly selected for comparison with cannulated compression screws and dynamic hip screws in clinical research. The results show that FNS has the advantages of minimally invasive, short operation time, less intraoperative fluoroscopy, earlier postoperative weight-bearing and fracture healing, and better hip function recovery. Conclusion As a new internal fixator, FNS has achieved satisfactory results in the current research. FNS has good mechanical advantages, which is beneficial to fracture healing and the recovery of hip joint function after operation. However, whether FNS can reduce the incidence of nonunion and osteonecrosis of the femoral head remains to be further clarified.

Abstract
A femoral neck fracture is a very common injury in the elderly. However, its incidence is low among young adults, usually presenting as an emergency. In young adults, implant choice is one of the important factors. This systematic review aims to analyze the femoral neck system (FNS) versus cannulated cancellous (CC) screw for the fixation of femoral neck fractures in young adults through well-defined objectives. A comprehensive search from the electronic database (PubMed, Google Scholar, Web of Science, Cochrane Library) was conducted from the beginning till February 18, 2022. The data regarding study type, authors, year of publication, country, union time, Harris hip score, intraoperative blood loss, operating time, neck shortening, and hospital stay were extracted from the selected articles and analyzed using RevMan 5.4.1 software. For continuous data, e.g., healing time, intraoperative blood loss, operation time, Harris hip score, neck shortening, and hospital stay, the mean difference (MD), either weighted mean difference (WMD) or standardized mean difference (SMD), with a 95% confidence interval (CI) was recorded. A p-value less than 0.05 was taken as statistically significant. The Newcastle Ottawa scale was used for the risk of bias assessment. Six retrospective cohort studies including 427 patients were selected for the meta-analysis. There was significantly less healing time (WMD= -1.10, 95% CI: -1.73 to -0.47), shorter operation duration (WMD=7.70, 95% CI: -0.06 to 15.46), and better Harris hip score (WMD=4.79, 95% CI: 2.12-7.46) in the FNS than CC screw fixation method. However, intraoperative blood loss was significantly less in the CC screw system (WMD=21.27, 95% CI: 8.20-34.35). There was no significant difference between the two approaches in-hospital stay duration and femoral neck shortening. This can be concluded that FNS is better than CC screw fixation for treating neck of femur fractures in adults on the outcome basis of union time, less operation time, and better Harris hip score (HHS) with significant heterogeneity.

The use of the femoral neck system (FNS) leads to better outcomes in the surgical management of femoral neck fractures in adults compared to fixation with cannulated screws: A systematic review and meta-analysis. EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF ORTHOPAEDIC SURGERY & TRAUMATOLOGY : ORTHOPEDIE TRAUMATOLOGIE 2022:10.1007/s00590-022-03407-8.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intracapsular femoral neck fractures are challenging to treat, with outcomes depending on the quality of reduction, and the stability of fixation. Cannulated cancellous screws (CCS) are the most commonly used implants to fix these fractures, but failure rates are significant. The recently introduced femoral neck system (FNS) may be a better option than CCS fixation and this review attempts to compare the results. METHODS Four electronic databases were searched for eligible articles that had comparative data on the outcomes of fixation of adult femoral neck fractures with FNS and CCS. Data on various outcome parameters were collected. Meta-analysis was conducted using a random-effects model with 95% confidence intervals. RESULTS Eight studies with 509 cases having a mean age of 50.8 years were included for final analysis. FNS was found to be associated with significantly reduced complication rates (p < 0.001), decreased incidence of postoperative femoral neck shortening (p < 0.001), quicker time to fracture union (p = 0.002), and better functional outcome scores (p < 0.001) compared to cannulated screws. FNS was also associated with a shorter operating time (mean difference 6.65 min) although not statistically significant (p = 0.24). CCS group had significantly reduced mean blood loss (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION The available literature supports FNS as a better option for adult femoral neck fractures, with a lower complication rate, quicker union, and better clinical outcomes.

Abstract
Background We performed a meta-analysis to compare the efficacy and safety of the femoral neck system (FNS) with cannulated cancellous screws (CCSs) in treating femoral neck fractures (FNFs) in controlled clinical trials. Methods Eligible scientific articles published prior to September 2021 were retrieved from the PubMed, Web of Science, Springer, ScienceDirect and Cochrane Library databases. The statistical analysis was performed with RevMan 5.1. Results Seven retrospective studies met the inclusion criteria. Meta-analysis showed that there were significant differences in perioperative blood loss, the postoperative Harris score, healing time, fluoroscopy frequency, total complications, femoral head necrosis, femoral neck shortening and screw cutout. No significant differences were found regarding operation time, length of hospital stay or nonunion between the two groups. Conclusion Compared with CCSs, the FNS showed better clinical efficacy and fewer complications in treating FNFs. Due to the limited quality and data of the currently available evidence, more high-quality randomized controlled trials are needed.

Abstract
Introduction The recently developed femoral neck system (FNS) for treatment of femoral neck fractures (FNF), comprises theoretical biomechanical advantages compared to other implants. The aim of this study was to validate the safety and to report outcomes of patients treated with the FNS. Method A retrospective multicentric analysis of patients treated by FNS with a minimum of three months of follow-up. Details analysed from three medical centres were operative duration, estimated blood loss, initial hospitalisation duration, fixation quality as well as complications and reoperation rate. Patients who had revision surgery were compared to all other patients to identify risk factors for failure. In addition, a literature review was performed to analyse data on FNS clinical implementation and patient’s outcomes. The two data sets were combined and analysed. Results One-hundred and two patients were included in this study cohort with an average follow-up of seven months (range 3–27). Ten papers were included in the literature review, reporting data on 278 patients. Overall, 380 patients were analysed. Average age was 62.6 years, 52% of the fractures were classified as Gardens 1–2. Overall, the revision rate was 9.2% (14 patients diagnosed with cut-out of implant, 10 with AVN, 8 with non-union and 8 with hardware removal). For the 102 patients in the cohort risk factors for reoperation included patients age, surgeon seniority and inadequate placement of the implant. Conclusion This study shows that FNS is a safe treatment option for FNF. Intra-operative parameters and failure rates are comparable to previously reported rates for this implant and other frequently used implants.
