Abstract:Pauwels type III fracture, wherein the fracture plane makes an angle of 50°-70° with the transverse plane, is the most unstable femoral neck fracture. Although there are various types of internal fixation devices, including Cannulated cancellous screws (CCS), dynamic hip screw (DHS), dynamic hip screw along with anti-rotation screws (DHS+ARS), and a newly introduced femoral neck system (FNS), patients with Pauwels type III fracture often experience implant failure. There was no study investigating the performa… Show more
