Reduction prior to fixation leads to better functional outcomes in valgus-impacted femoral neck fractures.
Postoperative Harris hip scores were significantly higher in the reduction group compared to in-situ fixation.
In-situ fixation resulted in significant femoral neck shortening regardless of screw configuration.
Patient selection is essential, especially in elderly patients where in-situ fixation can still be considered.

Systematic review finds in-situ fixation may lead to FN shortening, while reduction improves hip scores.

Heu et al. (2025) studied this question.
