All participants were divided into two treatment groups: Group A received FNS internal fixation alone, while Group B underwent FNS fixation combined with intraoperative rhBMP-2 implantation at the fracture gap. Intraoperative indicators including operative duration, fluoroscopy frequency and intraoperative blood loss were recorded. Preoperative and final follow-up Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS) and Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) scores were collected for psychological assessment. Long-term postoperative complications, fracture healing progress, femoral neck shortening and bilateral femoral offset differences were also compared between cohorts. Postoperative radiographs were applied to evaluate fracture reduction quality and internal fixation positioning, and the Harris Hip Score (HHS) was adopted to quantify postoperative hip joint function.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The overall follow-up period spanned 6 to 35 months, with an average follow up duration of 25.11\u2009\u00b1\u20097.35 months. The age range of subjects was 23\u201353 years, with an upper age limit of 55 years defined as the cut-off for young adult patients in this study.

In Group A, six patients developed avascular necrosis of the femoral head, three experienced femoral neck shortening, and two suffered fracture nonunion.
