Key result
In managing fixation failure of femoral neck fractures, preservation of the femoral head is preferred for patients under 50, while arthroplasty is the choice for older patients.

Highlights key factors for salvage after femoral neck fixation failure; leaves open prospective validation.
What are the appropriate salvage procedures for managing failure of fixation in femoral neck fractures based on patient age?
Age and physiological status dictate the salvage strategy for failed femoral neck fracture fixation, favoring head preservation in younger patients and arthroplasty in older patients.
Agrawal et al. (2018) conducted a review in Failure of fixation of fracture neck of femur. Salvage procedures was evaluated. In managing fixation failure of femoral neck fractures, preservation of the femoral head is preferred for patients under 50, while arthroplasty is the choice for older patients.
