The ratio between the screw distance and femoral neck width on lateral radiography is a reliable predictor of femoral head necrosis: a clinical review and corresponding numerical simulations

Abstract Background Fixation instability serves as an initial trigger for femoral head necrosis in patients with femoral neck fractures undergoing internal fixation. The configuration of screw trajectories is critical in determining the stability of the fixation. Our previously published study indic...
