Global incidence of osteonecrosis of the femoral head after femoral neck fracture surgery in adolescents: a meta-analysis.

Background: Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is a significant postoperative complication following femoral neck fractures (FNFs) in adolescents, that has garnered considerable attention from researchers. Despite this interest, the incidence of ONFH in adolescents post-FNF surgery has not been extensively evaluated. To contribute to the body of research, we performed a meta-analysis utilizing articles sourced from multiple databases, with an emphasis on the rate of ONFH occurrence in young adolescents following FNF surgery.
