Biomechanical Evaluation of the Risk of Subtrochanteric Fracture After Femoral Neck Fixation in a Synthetic Model: The Femoral Neck System versus Cannulated Screws
The FNS demonstrated failure at the subtrochanteric femur in this synthetic femora biomechanical model. The load to failure of FNS was superior compared with CS placed below the level of the lesser trochanter. The load to failure of the one-hole FNS was also superior to CS placed proximal to the midpoint of the lesser trochanter.
