Patients were divided into an FNS group (n = 60) and an FNS+CCS group (n = 66). Key outcomes included operative time, intraoperative blood loss, fluoroscopy frequency, fracture healing time, femoral neck shortening, complications, VAS pain scores, and Harris hip scores at final follow-up.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The two groups showed no significant differences in baseline characteristics. While intraoperative blood loss was comparable, the FNS+CCS group had significantly longer operative times and required more fluoroscopies. All patients were followed for an average of 14.1\u00a0months. The FNS+CCS group demonstrated a significantly shorter fracture healing time and a lower incidence of femoral neck shortening at final follow-up. Although VAS scores were similar between groups, the FNS+CCS group achieved significantly higher Harris hip scores. The incidence of complications did not differ significantly.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>For elderly patients with femoral neck fractures, FNS fixation augmented with a CCS offers significant advantages over FNS alone, including accelerated fracture healing and superior functional recovery of the hip joint, despite a longer operative time.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fbioe.2025.1688008","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,17]],"date-time":"2025-12-17T06:37:37Z","timestamp":1765953457000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Femoral neck system with an additional cannulated screw for the treatment of elderly femoral neck fractures: a retrospective study"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Xiang","family":"Yu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jun","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yu-Zhi","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiao-Kai","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fan-Cheng","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hong-Kui","family":"Hu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xu","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bing-Li","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bao-Qing","family":"Yu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rong-Guang","family":"Ao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"e19863","DOI":"10.7759\/cureus.19863","article-title":"The effect of anatomical reduction on functional outcomes in femoral neck fracture: a novel modified garden index","volume":"13","author":"Agar","year":"2021","journal-title":"Cureus"},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"C24","DOI":"10.1016\/s0020-1383(02)00328-5","article-title":"Analysis of fracture gap changes, dynamic and static stability of different osteosynthetic procedures in the femoral neck","volume":"33","author":"Bonnaire","year":"2002","journal-title":"Injury"},{"key":"B3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"2105","DOI":"10.1007\/s00264-022-05414-0","article-title":"Neck of femur fractures treated with the femoral neck system: outcomes of one hundred and two patients and literature review","volume":"46","author":"Davidson","year":"2022","journal-title":"Int.
