Few studies have investigated the efficacy of the Femoral Neck System (FNS) in hip\u2010preserving treatment for this patient group. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the safety and efficacy of FNS in treating this population.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      A retrospective analysis with pair matching of 93 patients who received FNS or total hip arthroplasty (THA) for Pauwels type III unstable femoral neck fracture in our hospital between January 2021 and August 2023 was conducted. This study used the inverse probability weighting (IPW) method to balance the baseline covariates between the THA group and the FNS group. The effect of covariate balance was evaluated by calculating the standardized mean difference (SMD). The operation duration, intraoperative blood loss, time to begin weight\u2010bearing, Harris score, and complication rate were compared between the two groups. For Harris hip score, generalized estimation equations (GEE) were used. For continuous outcomes, weighted linear regression was used.
