Patients were divided into 3 groups: 2 screws placed in a parallel fashion, 3 screws placed in an inverted triangle configuration, and 3-screw fixation with placement of 1 \u201cout-of-plane\u201d screw perpendicular to the long axis of the femur.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Outcome Measures and Comparisons:<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Postoperative femoral neck shortening (mm) was the primary outcome, which was compared among the 3 groups of different screw configurations.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>RESULTS:<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Sixty-one patients with a median follow-up of 1 year (interquartile range 0.6\u20131.8 years) and an average age of 72 years (interquartile range 65.0\u201383.0 years) were included. All fractures demonstrated bony healing. Overall, 68.9% of the cohort had \u22642 mm of femoral neck shortening. There was no difference between groups in the proportion of patients who experienced greater than 2 mm of shortening (<jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic> = 0.839) or in the amount (mm) of femoral neck shortening (Kruskal\u2013Wallis \u03c7<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup> = 0.517, <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic> = 0.772).<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>CONCLUSIONS:<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Although most patients with valgus-impacted FNF treated with screw fixation do not experience further femoral neck shortening, some patients demonstrated continued radiographic shortening during the healing process. The development of further femoral neck shortening and the amount of shortening that occurs do not differ based on implant configuration. Multiple different screw configurations seem to be acceptable for achieving healing and minimizing further femoral neck impaction.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>LEVEL OF EVIDENCE:<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Prognostic Level III.
