Management of femoral neck fractures in young adults - data from the Young Femoral Neck Fx Wk Gp

We are discussing three papers from the August 2024 volume of the Journal of Orthopaedic Trauma, all from the Young Femoral Neck Fracture Working Group. This includes 26 North American trauma centers with over 500 young adult patients with femoral neck fractures. The first paper focuses on optimal fixation strategies, the second focuses on isolated femoral necks versus neck/shaft fractures, and the third focuses on how treatment failure appears to increase with age.
