Univariable and multivariable analyses identified tip-apex distance (TAD) \u2265 25 mm, medial cortical comminution, poor reduction quality (Garden grades III\u2013IV), and non-inferior power bar position as significant risk factors for complications. Patients treated with the pre-compression technique demonstrated a lower incidence of femoral neck shortening (0% vs. 17.6%) and significantly better hip function scores at 6-month and final follow-up compared to those without pre-compression.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Strict adherence to operational standards, proper surgical techniques, improved fracture reduction quality, and appropriate weight-bearing control can help reduce early- and mid-term complications following FNS fixation for femoral neck fractures in young and middle-aged adults. The use of the pre-compression technique for the power bar, along with its placement in the lower to middle part of the femoral neck, may reduce femoral neck shortening and the risk of internal fixation cut-out.<\/jats:p>\n
