For Pauwels \u2264 50<\/mml:mn>\u00b0<\/mml:mo><\/mml:mrow><\/mml:mrow><\/mml:math><\/jats:inline-formula>, 1, 2 and 3 Cannulated Compression Screws (CCS) and Porous Tantalum Screws (PTS) were used to fix the fracture for the models. For Pauwels 60<\/mml:mn>\u00b0<\/mml:mo><\/mml:mrow><\/mml:mrow><\/mml:math><\/jats:inline-formula>, 3CCS and Medial Buttress Plate (MBP) combined with 1, 2 and 3CCS were used to fix the fracture. Based on the results of the finite element (FE) analysis, the biomechanical properties of each model were compared by analyzing and evaluating the following four parameters: maximal stress of the bone (MBS), maximal stress of the implants (MIS), maximal displacement of bone (MBD), interfragmentary motion (IFM).<\/jats:p>Results:<\/jats:bold> At Pauwels 30<\/mml:mn>\u00b0<\/mml:mo><\/mml:mrow><\/mml:mrow><\/mml:math><\/jats:inline-formula>, the larger parameters were found in 1CCS, which was 94.8\u00a0MPa (MBS), 307.7\u00a0MPa (MIS), 0.86\u00a0mm (MBD) and 0.36\u00a0mm (IFM). In 2CCS group, the parameters were 86.1\u00a0MPa (MBS), 254.4\u00a0MPa (MIS), 0.73\u00a0mm (MBD) and 0.27\u00a0mm (IFM), which were similar to those of PTS.

Particularly, the MIS (Pauwels 50<\/mml:mn>\u00b0<\/mml:mo><\/mml:mrow><\/mml:mrow><\/mml:math><\/jats:inline-formula>) of 1CCS was 1,195.3 MPa, but the other were less than the yield range of the materials. At Pauwels 60<\/mml:mn>\u00b0<\/mml:mo><\/mml:mrow><\/mml:mrow><\/mml:math><\/jats:inline-formula>, the MBS of 3CCS group was 128.6 Mpa, which had the risk of failure. In 2CCS + MBP group, the parameters were 124.2\u00a0MPa (MBS), 602.5\u00a0MPa (MIS), 0.75\u00a0mm (MBD) and 0.48\u00a0mm (IFM), The model stability was significantly enhanced after adding MBP.<\/jats:p>Conclusion:<\/jats:bold> Pauwels type \u2160 (&lt;30<\/mml:mn>\u00b0<\/mml:mo><\/mml:mrow><\/mml:mrow><\/mml:math><\/jats:inline-formula>) fractures can reduce the number of CCS, and PTS is an appropriate alternative treatment.
