## TL;DR

This case report examines the effectiveness of a new Femoral Neck System in treating a specific type of femur fracture in a young adult.

## Contribution

The study introduces and validates the use of the Femoral Neck System as a novel fixation method for intra-capsular femur fractures.

## Key findings

- The Femoral Neck System showed excellent biomechanical properties.
- It provided greater construct stability in a Pauwels Grade 3 intra-capsular femur fracture.

## Abstract

The introduction of the Femoral Neck System (FNS) represents a promising alternative to traditional cancellous cannulated (CC) screw fixation for managing intra-capsular neck of femur (ICNF) fractures. This case report aims to validate its safety and report the outcomes in a young patient. The findings demonstrate that the FNS possesses excellent biomechanical properties and provides significantly greater overall construct stability bearing in mind, that it was used in a Pauwels Classification Grade 3 ICNF fracture.
