Cannulated Screws for Femoral Neck Fracture: Advanced Treatment for Improved Recovery

Cannulated screws for femoral neck fracture are specialized orthopedic implants designed to stabilize and repair fractures in the femoral neck, a common injury in the elderly and those with osteoporosis. These screws are characterized by their hollow core, which allows for precise placement and reduction of the fracture. The main functions include providing stability, enabling bone healing, and maintaining the alignment of the fractured bone. Technological features of these screws include a threaded design for secure fixation, a cannulated center for guide wire passage, and they are often made from biocompatible materials like titanium. Applications of cannulated screws are primarily in surgical settings for internal fixation of femoral neck fractures, offering a minimally invasive option compared to traditional methods.
