Biomechanical comparison using finite element analysis of different screw configurations in the fixation of femoral neck fractures

In this research, biomechanical behaviors of five different configurations of screws used for stabilization of femoral neck fracture under axial loading have been examined, and which configuration is best has been investigated. A point cloud was obtained after scanning the human femoral model with a...
