Abstract

Abstract Background Femoral neck fractures in adults younger than age 50 years are uncommon and often the result of high energy trauma. They account for only 2-3% of all femoral neck fractures. Femoral neck fractures are associated with aging and osteoporosis and can occur after relatively trivial trauma in elderly patients. femoral neck fractures are associated with higher incidences of femoral head osteonecrosis and nonunion. Fixation options include cannulated screws, non parallel cannulated screws, medial augmentation plate, and fixed angle femoral neck fixation implants. A systematic review of literature done to evaluate which technique is better. Methods After literature search thirteen articles were found and were reviewed to evaluate final outcome of fixation of neck femur fractures by cannulated screws, non parallel cannulated screws, medial augmentation plate, and fixed angle femoral neck fixation implants. Results After evaluation of all studies the incidence of nonunion, osteonecrosis of femoral head, implant failure & revesion surgery is lower in comparing Targon plate with multiple cannulated screws while we need further studies for application of non parallel screws and medial plate. Conclusion Targon plate recorded low incidence of complications in the final outcome in comparison with multiple cannulated screw while we need further studies for application of Non parallel screws and medial plate.
