Comparison of three different internal fixation implants in treatment of femoral neck fracture—a finite element analysis

Abstract Background Current surgical interventions for the femoral neck fracture are using either cannulated screws (CCS) or a single large screw at a fixed angle with a side-plate (i.e., a sliding hip screw, AKA dynamic hip screw, DHS). Despite these interventions, the need for reoperation remains...

description Abstract Background Current surgical interventions for the femoral neck fracture are using either cannulated screws (CCS) or a single large screw at a fixed angle with a side-plate (i.e., a sliding hip screw, AKA dynamic hip screw, DHS). Despite these interventions, the need for reoperation remains high (10.0–48.8%) and largely unchanged over the past 30 years. Femoral neck fracture is associated with substantial morbidity, mortality, and costs. Methods In this study, our group designed a plate that combines the strength of both CCS and sliding hip screw, through providing three dynamic screws at a fixed angle with a side-plate, namely the slide compression anatomic place-femoral neck (SCAP-FN). Finite element analyses (FEA) were carried out to compare the outcomes of the combination of our SCAP-FN plate with DHS+DS (derotational screw) and to those of using cannulated screws alone. Results SCAP-FN produces more stable fixation with respect to the femur and the stress distributions, stress peaks, and rotational angles. Conclusions The FEA encouraged us that in the following biomechanical experiment, SCAP-FN may remain the strengths of both CCS and DHS+DS and show a better performance in resisting shearing and rotational forces, therefore achieving the best stability in terms of smallest displacement and rotational angle.
