The Femoral Neck System: A Solution for Fractured Hips

The Femoral Neck System (FNS) is a medical device designed to provide enhanced fixation for femoral neck fractures in adults and adolescents with fused growth plates.

Here’s what the FNS offers:

• Improved Stability: The FNS features a unique design that promotes both angular stability (preventing rotational movement) and rotational stability (resisting varus collapse). This combination helps reduce the risk of reoperations due to fixation complications.
• Compact Design: The FNS is a compact system, minimizing surgical disruption to the surrounding tissues.
• Versatility: The system offers a range of construct sizes to accommodate different patient anatomies.

Key components:

• Bolt: Provides angular stability by fixing securely to the plate.
• Plate (with Locking Screw): Offers angular stability and a platform for secure fixation.
• Antirotation Screw (ARScrew): Provides rotational stability and prevents the femoral head from rotating.
• Optional Protection Sleeve: Facilitates the insertion of the ARScrew.
• Special Instrument Set for FNS

Benefits of the FNS:

• Reduced risk of reoperation
• Improved patient outcomes
• Minimally invasive surgery
• Potential for faster recovery times

The indication for FNS:

• Basilar fractures
• Transcervical fractures
• Subcapital fractures

Important to Note:

• The Femoral Neck System should only be implanted by qualified surgeons experienced in fracture fixation procedures.
• As with any surgical procedure, there are potential risks and complications associated with the Femoral Neck System. It’s essential to discuss these risks and benefits thoroughly with your doctor before undergoing surgery.
