Adjustment of Bolt Length in the Femoral Neck System for Femoral Neck Fracture: Technical Note [PDF]
Abstract Background: The depth of bolt in Femoral neck system (FNS, DePuy Synthes, Oberdorf, Switzerland) is difficult to finely control as the length of the bolt is in units of 5 mm. Thus, this study introduces a method to control the depth of FNS bolt in analogue scale in patients with femoral neck fracture.
