What is the appropriate axial position in cannulated screw fixation for femoral neck fractures? A finite element analysis
To enhance fixation stability and reduce stress concentrations at the fracture site and lateral cortex in femoral neck fractures fixed with three canulated screws, positioning the screws anterior to the center in the axial view and maximizing the inter-screw interval, tailored to the patient's femur geometry, are recommended.
