Optimal sliding distance in femoral neck system for displaced femoral neck fractures: a retrospective cohort study
Restricting FNS slide to ≤ 5 mm in surgery may reduce shortening, improve hip function, and not hinder fracture healing or implant stability. Considering the key 3-month sliding timeline postoperatively is advisable in clinical practice. Further research with a broader patient cohort is vital to confirm these findings and to anchor them in evidence-based practice.
