Characteristics, Demographics and findings of included studies on FNS.
Authors/Year | Study Period/Country of study | Mean Age (Range in Years) Gender (Male Vs Female) |
Femoral neck system (FNS) usage | Other Implants used | Conclusion of the study | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Zhang Y et al., 2022 | 2019–2020 China |
54.9(28–66) years, 26 M 43F | 33 | 36 | FNS application linked to minimal surgical trauma, improved stability, and lesser complication |
2 | He C et al., 2021 | 2018–2020 China |
50.61 ± 10.30 vs 47.58 ± 10.31 years (18 M,15F vs 22 M,14F) |
33 | 36 | Compared to CS, the FNS decreased the frequency of peroperative imaging's, radiation exposure, and early complications such as shortening of the femoral neck and its nonunion. |
3 | Hu H et al., 2021 | 2017–2020 China |
50.45 ± 8.45 26 M vs 18F |
20 | 24 | FNS has a higher construct stability. No significant difference in the probability of AVN. Cut-out of screw and shortening of the neck was significantly lower in FNS group than in CCS group |
4 | Nibe Y et al., 2021 | 2006–2020 Japan |
79.5 11 M vs 41F |
25 | 27 | In older patients with Femoral neck fractures, FNS had a shorter operative duration and a reduced revision surgery. |
5 | Tang Y et al., 2021 | 2019–2020 China |
56.1 71 M vs 21F |
47 | 45 | FNS was comparable to CCS with regards to surgical time, length of incision, intraoperative blood loss, and complications. However, FNS group had better Harris hip score, shorter fracture healing time, and lesser neck shortening |
6 | Vazquez O et al., 2021 | 2015–2019 Switzerland |
84.9 ± 6.4 12 M vs 51F |
15 | 48 | FNS had significantly lower surgical duration and had equal efficacy to DHS and CCS |
7 | Zhou X et al., 2021 | 2019 China |
53.84 24 M vs 36F |
30 | 30 | FNS was costlier however more appropriate for treating Pauwels type-3 fractures as compare to CCS and had lesser soft tissue trauma speedy recovery lesser complication. |
8 | Yan C et al., 2021 | 2018–2020 China |
52(47–63)yrs vs 49(47–56)yrs, (10 M,14F vs 38 M,20F) | 24 | 58 | FNS could lead to faster fracture healing and rehabilitation, thereby reducing complications. |
9 | Yang J et al., 2021 | 2019–2020 China |
(47.8 ± 9.8) yrs vs (43.7 ± 13.1) yrs, (30 M,17F vs 26 M,21F) | 47 | 47 | Compared with CCS fixation, FNS fixation shortened operative time and fracture healing time, allowed patients to ambulate early after surgery, and better functional recovery of the hip(HHS). |
10 | Yang Y et al., 2021 | 2019–2020 China |
NA | 15 | 19 | Compared with CCS, FNS can reduce surgical trauma, intraoperative fluoroscopy frequency and obtain satisfactory short-term effectiveness. |
11 | Wei X et al., 2021 | 2019–2020 China |
(54 ± 13) yrs vs (53.2 ± 11.3) yrs, (38 M,24F vs 42 M,15F) | 62 | 57 | In comparison to CCS, FNS can significantly decreased intraoperative C arm exposure duration, reduced surgical and inpatient time. FNS fastened the fracture healing and promoted better functional recovery. |
