Cannulated versus Non-Cannulated Cancellous Screw Fixation for Femoral Neck Fractures: A Synthetic Bone Biomechanical Study
Purpose. To compare the compressive strength of cannulated versus non-cannulated cancellous screws for undisplaced femoral neck fractures in synthetic bones. Methods. 18 synthetic proximal femurs simulating an AO B1 valgus impacted femoral neck fracture in osteoporotic bone were used. The fracture a...
