Novel internal fixation technique for Pauwels type III neck of femur fractures using the femoral neck system in conjunction with a medial buttress plate: a case report

The combined approach of the Femoral Neck System with a medial buttress plate provides a promising solution to the biomechanical challenges associated with high-angle femoral neck fractures. This approach may offer enhanced fixation stability in young patients with high-energy trauma.
