Geriatric Femoral Neck Fractures with Posterior Angulation: Reclassifying Fractures to Improve Surgical Decision-Making

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38117584

The abstract suggests that geriatric femoral neck fractures with significant posterior angulation (≥ 20°) have a high failure rate following screw fixation, and the authors propose reclassifying these fractures as Garden III to improve surgical decision-making.
