Abstract	Purpose This study aimed to compare the clinical outcomes and differences in biomechanical characteristics between the femoral neck system (FNS) and cannulated cancellous screws (CCSs) in the treatment of femoral neck fractures. Methods This study retrospectively analysed a cohort of 38 registered cases of femoral neck fractures treated surgically with either the FNS (n = 17) or CCSs (n = 21) between January 2020 and December 2023. Indicators such as fluoroscopy frequency, length of hospital stay, and fracture healing time were compared between the two groups. Functional status was evaluated via the Harris hip score (HHS) and visual analogue scale (VAS), whereas prognosis was assessed based on changes in the neck shaft angle and femoral neck shortening. Additionally, six sets of femoral neck fracture models were developed based on Pauwels angles of 30°, 40°, 50°, 60°, 70°, and 80°. Two experimental groups, FNS and CCS, were established, and a joint reaction force of 1800 N was applied to the proximal femur. The displacement, stress, and stiffness of the components of interest in the different models were tested and compared. Results The distributions of all the baseline characteristics were similar between the two groups (p > 0.05). The FNS group presented significantly shorter fluoroscopy frequency, length of hospital stay, and fracture healing time (p < 0.05). Harris and VAS scores were higher in the FNS group than in the CCS group (p < 0.05). Postoperative changes in the neck shaft angle and femoral neck shortening were significantly lower in the FNS group than in the CCS group (p < 0.05). The results of the finite element analysis indicated that the maximum stress on the femoral head and varus angle were generally lower in the FNS group than in the CCS group and that the maximum displacement of the femoral head and FNS was generally lower in the FNS group than in the CCS group. However, the superiority of FNS over CCS decreased with increasing Pauwels angle. Additionally, the effectiveness of FNS in limiting displacement of the femoral neck upper wall was not as favourable as that of CCS. Conclusions The treatment of femoral neck fractures with FNS is superior and contributes to improved hip joint function. Biomechanical research has confirmed its structural stability and advantages in resisting femoral head varus. However, challenges to its fixation efficacy persist, particularly at higher Pauwels angles.
