Abstract
Femoral neck fractures are frequent orthopedic injuries with treatment and costs presenting a major public health problem. The optimal treatment is debated based on patient variables, fracture displacement, and fracture pattern. When proceeding with internal fixation, there are challenges in both young and old patients. Optimizing stability of femoral neck fracture fixation is important in obtaining a successful outcome. The mechanical problems and strategies for achieving optimal stability differ depending on patients’ age and type of fracture.
