Anatomical reduction, positive reduction, and negative reduction femoral neck fracture models were respectively constructed on this basis. Then, 4CCS, BDSF, and DHS internal fixation devices were implanted into the three types of femoral neck models, resulting in a total of 9 groups of finite element models. Each fracture group was tested under an axial load of 2100\u00a0N, and the displacement of the femur and internal fixation devices, as well as the distribution of Von Mises stress (VMS), were measured.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>In the femoral neck fracture model with a 50\u00b0 Pauwels angle, maximum femoral displacement in the BDSF group was 3.412\u00a0mm for anatomical reduction, 3.459\u00a0mm for positive reduction, and 3.962\u00a0mm for negative reduction\u2014all smaller than those in the 4CCS and DHS groups. For femoral head stress, the 4CCS group showed higher stress (42.90\u00a0Mpa) than BDSF (38.21\u00a0Mpa) and DHS (35.91\u00a0Mpa) under anatomical reduction. However, under positive and negative reduction, BDSF (23.75\u00a0Mpa and 27.9\u00a0Mpa) outperformed 4CCS (50.40\u00a0Mpa and 34.6\u00a0Mpa) and DHS (44.92\u00a0Mpa and 44.6\u00a0Mpa). Negative reduction models had significantly greater overall stress than positive reduction models, with positive reduction showing better stability. Under anatomical reduction, BDSF\u2019s internal fixation stress (222.3\u00a0Mpa) and displacement (3.611\u00a0mm) differed notably from DHS (322.2\u00a0Mpa, 3.009\u00a0mm) and 4CCS (276.0\u00a0Mpa, 3.346\u00a0mm). Under positive and negative reduction, BDSF (247.4\u00a0Mpa\/3.370\u00a0mm and 292.1\u00a0Mpa\/3.865\u00a0mm) performed better than 4CCS (250.4\u00a0Mpa\/3.480\u00a0mm and 293.1\u00a0Mpa\/3.897\u00a0mm). BDSF and 4CCS had significantly lower internal fixation stress than DHS under positive and negative reduction, while no significant difference in internal fixation displacement was found between BDSF and DHS under these conditions.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>For femoral neck fractures with a Pauwels angle of 50\u00b0 under anatomical reduction, positive reduction, and negative reduction, the BDSF internal fixation device has better biomechanical performance than the 4CCS and DHS internal fixation devices. Except for anatomical reduction, positive reduction can achieve better biomechanical results. The BDSF internal fixation technique can be considered a reliable closed reduction internal fixation technique for treating femoral neck fractures with different anatomical reductions.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fbioe.2025.1678294","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,30]],"date-time":"2025-09-30T05:33:40Z","timestamp":1759210420000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Biomechanical study of different internal fixation devices for femoral neck fractures: finite element analysis based on different reduction qualities"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Zhexi","family":"Zhu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zhongjian","family":"Tang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yafei","family":"Lu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tao","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jizhe","family":"Lu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chenglong","family":"Pang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bin","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"800","DOI":"10.1111\/eci.12472","article-title":"Low bone mineral density and fat-free mass in younger patients with a femoral neck fracture","volume":"45","author":"Al-Ani","year":"2015","journal-title":"Eur.
