Abstract
Femoral neck fractures have significant orthopedic difficulty, particularly in younger patients with high-energy trauma. The femoral neck system improves rotational stability, allows for controlled dynamic compression, and is less invasive than cannulated cancellous screws. However, steep learning curves, more significant starting expenditures, and more long-term data still need to be addressed. Emerging technologies, such as robotic-assisted surgeries and personalized implants created with artificial intelligence and 3D printing, can transform fracture therapy by boosting accuracy, lowering complications, and improving patient-specific care. Future advances will improve results and patient happiness.
Keywords: Femoral neck fractures, femoral neck system, cannulated screws, rotational stability, angular stability, minimally invasive surgery, fracture fixation, osteoporotic fractures, clinical outcomes, implant innovations.
