Femoral Neck System (FNS)
The Femoral Neck System (FNS) is a dedicated solution for femoral neck fractures, designed for improved angular stability1 and rotational stability2 with the intent to reduce reoperations related to fixation complications.
Features & Benefits
Enhanced Fixation
Designed to provide both angular and rotational stability in a single implant intended to reduce reoperations related to fixation complications.1,2
Streamlined Procedure
Designed for reduced procedural complexity utilizing a technique and insertion handle requiring only a single, central guide wire.3
Resistance to Varus Collapse
A published biomechanical study shows that FNS is twice as strong as three cannulated screws (3CS) against femoral neck and leg shortening. The same study also revealed comparable results to two types of sliding hip screws.1
Integrated Rotational Stability
Regardless of construct size, FNS offers enhanced rotational stability. Mechanical testing indicates up to 40% increased rotational stability when comparing to a sliding hip screw (SHS) and a minimum of 150% more rotational stability compared to three cannulated screws.2,4*
Compact Design
Designed with a small footprint to reduce lateral prominence, a dynamic Bolt and ARScrew to eliminate lateral protrusion of the implant, and a short incision to reduce soft tissue disruption.3
