Evaluation of the Posterior Tilt Angle in Predicting Failure of Nondisplaced Femoral Neck Fractures After Internal Fixation: A Systematic Review

“…Of the included studies, 3 were level 2 9,14,15 and the remaining 14 were level 3. 8,10,11,[16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26] The included studies were published between 2009 and 2020. Three studies were performed in South Korea 19,21,22 ; 2 each in the United Kingdom, 16,20 Denmark, 8,26 and Sweden 10,14 ; and 1 each in Italy, 17 Scotland, 15 Norway, 18 the Netherlands, 11 Finland, 24 China, 25 and Japan, 23 while 1 study spanned several countries.…”
