There were eight type II and three type III femoral neck fractures using the Delbet classification. In the process of robot-assisted internal fixation, the median of fluoroscopy frequency was 22 times and the median of operation duration was 47\u2005min. The median of screw parallelism was 1.33\u00b0 and 0.66\u00b0 on the anteroposterior and lateral x-ray films, and the median of screw distribution was 41.86% and 44.93% on the anteroposterior and lateral x-ray films, respectively. At the 12-month follow-up, there were two cases of femoral head necrosis, and fracture healing was achieved in all patients, of which eight fractures were excellent and three were good by the Ratliff function classification.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The application of robot-assisted cannulated compression screw internal fixation could help us achieve more safe and accurate screw placement, as well as a good treatment effect for children\u2019s femoral neck fractures.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Level of Evidence<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Level IV. retrospective case series.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fped.2022.1105717","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,10]],"date-time":"2023-01-10T08:38:19Z","timestamp":1673339899000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Robot-assisted cannulated compression screw internal fixation for treatment of femoral neck fracture in children: A case series of ten patients"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Wei","family":"Feng","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ziming","family":"Yao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Haonan","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dong","family":"Guo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Danjiang","family":"Zhu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Baojian","family":"Song","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Qiang","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xuejun","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"123","DOI":"10.1016\/j.injury.2004.04.010","article-title":"Fractures of the femoral neck in children: long-term follow-up in 62 hip fractures","volume":"36","author":"Togrul","year":"2005","journal-title":"Injury"},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"528","DOI":"10.1302\/0301-620x.44b3.528","article-title":"Fractures of the neck of the femur in children","volume":"44","author":"Ratliff","year":"1962","journal-title":"J Bone Joint Sur Br Vol"},{"key":"B3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"823","DOI":"10.1016\/s0020-1383(02)00013-x","article-title":"Fractures of the neck of femur in children: an experience at the Aseer Central Hospital, Abha, Saudi Arabia","volume":"33","author":"Mirdad","year":"2002","journal-title":"Injury"},{"key":"B4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"236","DOI":"10.1097\/TA.0b013e3181c428ce","article-title":"Challenges in the treatment of femoral neck fractures in the nonelderly adult","volume":"68","author":"Davidovitch","year":"2010","journal-title":"J Trauma"},{"key":"B5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"45","DOI":"10.1016\/s0020-1383(00)00109-1","article-title":"Complications of fracture of the neck of the femur in children.
