From: The small screw-apex distance is potentially associated with femoral head osteonecrosis in adults with femoral neck fractures treated by closed reduction and percutaneous 3 parallel cannulated screws

Fig. 1

Schematic diagram showing the quality of femoral neck fracture reduction, including neutral support (anatomic reduction) of the fracture fragment (A), positive support (B), and negative support (C). Positive support indicates medial cortical support of the distal edge of the femoral neck fragment (B), and negative support indicates no medial cortical support of the distal edge (C)
