Abstract:Cannulated hip screws (CHS) can be used for the minimally invasive fixation of non-dislocated femoral neck fractures. Usually, three screws are inserted. This study aims to determine whether fixation by two CHS leads to similar results as fixation by three CHS. Since January 2019, all patients with an indication for internal fixation by CHS were treated with two CHS and followed prospectively. Results were compared to an equal-sized control group of patients who underwent fixation by three CHS (before 2019). T… Show more
