Abstract: To analyze the fixation strength of cannulated screws fixation in the treatment of femoral neck fracture with posterior tilt due to insufficient reduction. Two sets of digital models of anatomical reduction and 15° tilting reduction were established by CT data. Each group of models was modeled with two different fixation methods. One fixation method was fixed according to the standard cannulated screws recommended by AO. Another fixation method is to tilt the screw posterior tilt 15°. The final four groups of models were obtained: AO principle nailing posterior tilt model (Group A), posterior direction nailing posterior tilt model (Group B), AO principle nailing anatomic reduction model (Group C) and posterior direction nailing anatomic reduction model (Group D). The maximum displacement of the fracture end, the maximum Von-Mises stress and the stress distribution of the internal fixation were compared among the four groups. Four groups of models were established on artificial bone by 3D printing guide plate technology. The 600 N pressure test and yield test were performed on a biomechanical machine. The finite element and biomechanical models showed that groups B and C were more stable than groups A and D. The stability of group B was not worse than that of group C. When the femoral neck fracture produces a posterior tilt, a posterior reduction is allowed. The change of AO screw to posterior tilting screw fixation has more powerful advantages. No posterior tilt or posterior reduction, AO screw placement is still required.
