Article Synopsis

The study aimed to analyze the risk of subtrochanteric stress fractures and the biomechanical stability between two fixation methods: the Femoral Neck System (FNS) and multiple screw fixation (MSF).
Eight pairs of cadaver femurs were tested under simulated single-leg load to compare how each fixation method performed.
Results showed no failures in either method during testing, with no significant differences in force or loading cycles, indicating that FNS does not increase the risk of fractures or affect stability compared to MSF.

3D printing (3DP) technology continues to gain popularity among medical specialties as a useful tool to improve patient care. The field of spine surgery is one discipline that has utilized this; however, information regarding the use of 3DP in minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS) is limited. 3D printing is currently being utilized in spine surgery to create biomodels, hardware templates and guides, and implants.
