Abstract:
In one embodiment of the invention, a device for femoral neck fracture fixation includes a base, a first conduit that slidably receives a first screw, a second conduit that slidably receives a second screw, and a third conduit that slidably receives a third screw. The first conduit is spaced from the second conduit to allow the first screw to couple to the femoral neck inferior cortex and to further allow the second screw and third screw to each couple to the femoral head and reduce angular instability of the femoral neck fracture.
