Fig. 1From: Biomechanical analysis of two medial buttress plate fixation methods to treat Pauwels type III femoral neck fracturesPauwels III fractures were simulated via osteotomy by creating a fracture oriented 60° (*) from the horizonta. The two groups all used three cannulated screws combined with medial buttress plate fixation, but the fixation of the proximal fracture block was different: A) long screws with a length of 40 mm, B) Short screw with a length of 6 mmBack to article page
