A quantitative biomechanical study of positive buttress techniques for femoral neck fractures: a finite element analysis

Abstract. Background:. Refractory femoral neck fractures cannot be anatomically reduced by closed traction reduction which may affect fracture healing. We evaluated the biomechanical effects of positive, negative, and anatomic reduction of various degrees of displacement in Pauwels I femoral neck fr...
