Evaluating femoral head collapse risk post-fixation removal: a finite element analysis
The FNS screw hole demonstrates a relatively lower mechanical risk of femoral head collapse. In contrast, sclerotic screw holes increase this risk, while bone grafting may improve the biomechanical behavior after fixation removal, potentially reducing the likelihood of femoral head collapse.
