Long-term outcomes following closed reduction and internal fixation of femoral neck fractures with cannulated screws in patients under 65 years.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: The long-term studies for femoral neck fractures (FNFs) in young patients treated with closed reduction and internal fixation (CRIF) are limited. This study aimed to evaluate the long-term outcomes of a group of young patients (<65 years) with FNFs treated with CRIF at our department during the last decade. We estimated treatment failure rates and identified risk factors for poor outcomes. Methods: This retrospective cohort study included patients under 65 with a unilateral FNF treated with CRIF using partially threaded cannulated screws (CSs) between 2011 and 2021. During the latest follow-up visit, we recorded the patients' complications, re-admissions, reoperations, functional outcomes, and quality of life scores. Results: We included 52 patients with a mean age of 53.04 years and a mean follow-up of 5.3 (range: 1.3-11) years. No non-union was recorded. Nine patients (17.3 %) underwent total hip arthroplasty (THA) due to femoral head avascular necrosis (AVN) at an average of 1.68 years following the index operation (THA group). The mean age (p =0.96), trauma type (p =0.290), sex prevalence (p =0.989), Garden classification (p =0.187), CSs number (p =0.751), and comorbidities (p =0.516) were comparable between THA and non-THA groups. Time from trauma to index surgery was significantly shorter for the THA than the non-THA group (p =0.03). Conclusions: During a mid-to-long follow-up, 17.3 % of patients under 65 years who were treated with CRIF and CSs for FNFs developed AVN. Age, trauma type, comorbidities, time from trauma to treatment, and the number of screws did not affect the outcomes. HIPPOKRATIA 2024, 28 (1):29-34.
