Evaluating femoral head collapse risk post-fixation removal: a finite element analysis

Evaluating femoral head collapse risk post-fixation removal: a finite element analysis

BackgroundFemoral neck fractures are prevalent in orthopedic injuries, often leading to complications such as nonunion and osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH). Studies indicate that after healing and removal of internal fixation devices, some patients develop ONFH, while others experience osteo...
