The two groups included fixation with multiple cancellous screws (group 1) and telescopic femoral neck screws and a small locking plate device (Targon FN) (group 2). Patients underwent reduction and internal fixation with either multiple cancellous screws or the Targon FN device from March 2000 to January 2012. Failure endpoints included nonunion, osteonecrosis of the femoral head, and revision surgery. Patient-reported outcome measures included chronic pain, ability to ambulate, and the use of ambulation assistive devices. Statistical analysis demonstrated a statistically significant lower rate of non-union and overall complication in the Targon FN group (p value &lt; 0.001 and p value = 0.005, respectively). Logistic regression analysis showed that operative fixation with the Targon FN device decreased the odds ratio for overall complication by a factor of 0.34 (p = 0.02). There were no statistically significant differences between groups 1 and 2 in patient-reported outcomes (chronic pain (p = 0.21), ability to ambulate (p = 0.07), and the use of an ambulation assistive device (p = 0.07)). When compared to traditional cancellous screw fixation of femoral neck fractures, the Targon FN device has significantly lower complication rates and equivalent patient-reported outcomes.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm13041123","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,16]],"date-time":"2024-02-16T06:00:25Z","timestamp":1708063225000},"page":"1123","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Dynamic Locking Plate versus Multiple Cancellous Screws for the Fixation of Intracapsular Femoral Neck Fractures: Long-Term Results and Quality-Of-Life Assessment Based on Patient-Reported Outcome Measures"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Yoav","family":"Krupik","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Chaim Sheba Medical Center, Tel Hashomer and Sackler Faculty of Medicine, Tel Aviv University, Tel Aviv 5265601, Israel"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sagie","family":"Haziza","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Rutgers New Jersey Medical School, University Hospital, Newark, NJ 07103, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ran","family":"Thein","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Chaim Sheba Medical Center, Tel Hashomer and Sackler Faculty of Medicine, Tel Aviv University, Tel Aviv 5265601, Israel"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"2254","article-title":"Treatment of Femoral Neck Fractures in Young Adults","volume":"90","author":"Ly","year":"2008","journal-title":"J.
