Cold Welding of the Synthes Femoral Neck System Encountered at Conversion to Arthroplasty: A Case Report.
JBJS Case Connector 2023 July 2
CASE: The Synthes Femoral Neck System (FNS) is a relatively new device available to the market in 2019 designed to reduce complication and revision rates after femoral neck fracture stabilization. We present a 77-year-old man with Parkinson disease and avascular necrosis after femoral neck fracture initially managed with the FNS. Subsequent challenges in device removal occurred because of its propensity for bony integration, plate and locking screw welding, and screw head recess destruction.
CONCLUSION: Surgeons must recognize the need for additional available equipment (e.g., burr or broken screw removal set) for successful extraction when FNS removal is required.
