Influence of the proximal screws of buttress plates on the stability of vertical femoral neck fractures: a finite element analysis

Abstract Background The treatment of vertical femoral neck fractures (vFNFs) in young patients remains challenging, with a high complication rate by using traditional techniques. The use of cannulated screws (CSs) combined with a buttress plate represents an alternative approach for treating vFNFs....
