Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To summarize the research progress of medial buttress plate assisted fixation for femoral neck fractures in young adults. METHODS: The literature about buttress plate assisted fixation for femoral neck fractures in young adults was widely reviewed and analyzed. The design principle, background, biomechanical characteristics, and clinical results of buttress plate were summarized. RESULTS: Medial buttress plate assisted fixation is the latest treatment of femoral neck fractures in young adults, which can convert the shear force at the fracture sides into compression force and promote fracture healing. Medial buttress plate can improve the biomechanical stability of femoral neck fractures and reduce the maximum stress of fixation implants. In clinical, the medial buttress plate can maintain fracture reduction, reduce the incidences of nonunion and surgical failure, and improve hip joint function. CONCLUSION: Medial buttress plate assisted fixation can achieve good effectiveness for femoral neck fractures in young adults. However, due to the preliminary application, its indications, fixation implants, and long-term effectiveness need to be further studied and improved.
