Outcomes of Femoral Neck System in Treating Intra-capsular Neck of Femur Fractures in a Young Adult: A Case Report
The introduction of the Femoral Neck System (FNS) represents a promising alternative to traditional cancellous cannulated (CC) screw fixation for managing intra-capsular neck of femur (ICNF) fractures. This case report aims to validate its safety and report the outcomes in a young patient. The findings demonstrate that the FNS possesses excellent biomechanical properties and provides significantly greater overall construct stability bearing in mind, that it was used in a Pauwels Classification Grade 3 ICNF fracture.
