Overview

Warns against oversized implants risking necrosis; leaves open optimal modern fixation strategies for femoral neck fractures.

Structured PICO

P
Population
Patients with intracapsular fractures of the neck of the femur
I
Intervention
Internal fixation using massive nails (round or square)

Historical massive nails for femoral neck fractures were ineffective due to pressure necrosis and inadequate fixation.
