Retrospective analysis identifies factors influencing fixation failure and avascular necrosis in adults, suggesting improvement areas.

This research aims to identify risk factors related to fixation failure, avascular necrosis, and nonunion in femoral neck fractures.
Retrospective study on 217 adults with femoral neck fractures
Data collected included demographic variables, comorbidities, and treatment details
Outcomes measured included fixation failure, avascular necrosis, and nonunion
Multivariable logistic regression analysis performed to identify risk factors
Fixation failure occurred in 24.0% of patients
Avascular necrosis was observed in 14.3% of cases
Risk factors for fixation failure included displaced fracture patterns and poor reduction quality
Excessive alcohol consumption significantly increased risk for both fixation failure and AVN
Earlier surgery and cannulated screw fixation reduced the odds of nonunion

Feng et al. (2026) studied this question.
