Purpose:
This study sought to compare the risk of subtrochanteric stress-riser fractures and biomechanical stability of the Femoral Neck System (FNS) versus multiple screw fixation (MSF).
Methods:
Eight paired cadaveric femurs were randomly assigned to FNS or MSF. Physiologic load mimicking single leg stance at the subtrochanteric region was applied to the constructs.
Results:
No constructs failed in the subtrochanteric region during loading. There was no significant difference in force (P = 0.364) or loading cycles (P = 0.348) between groups.
Conclusion:
FNS constructs were not associated with an increased incidence of iatrogenic subtrochanteric fractures or biomechanical stability versus MSF.
