Abstract:[Objective] To compare the clinical efficacy of fully threaded screws (FTS) and partially threaded screws (PTS) for fixation of femoral neck fractures. [Methods] The data bases, including PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Embase, CNKI, Wanfang, VIP and others were searched from January 2010 to May 2024 to collect studies comparing the clinical efficacy of FTS and PTS for fixation of femoral neck fractures, and a meta-analysis was performed using Review Manager 5.4 software. [Results] Nine studies were included, involving one randomized controlled study and eight cohort studies. A total of 778 patients were enrolled, including 342 in the FTS fixed group, and 436 in the PTS fixed group. As results of meta-analysis, the FTS was significantly superior to the PTS in terms of femoral neck shortening rate (OR=0.27, 95%CI 0.18~0.42, P<0.001), screw withdrawal rate (OR=0.23, 95%CI 0.14~0.38, P<0.001), internal fixation failure rate (OR=0.25, 95%CI 0.13~0.48, P<0.001), and decline of neck shaft angle (MD=-1.57, 95%CI -2.35~-0.78, P<0.001). However, there were no significant differences between the two groups regarding to intraoperative bleeding (MD=2.45, 95%CI -6.63 ~11.54, P=0.60), operation time (MD=1.25, 95%CI -0.92~3.42, P=0.26), fracture healing time (MD=0.05, 95%CI -0.75~0.86, P=0.89), bone nonunion rate (OR=0.66, 95%CI 0.37~1.19, P=0.17), and femoral head necrosis rate (OR=0.65, 95%CI 0.32~1.31, P=0.23). [Conclusion] The FTS for internal fixation of femoral neck fractures has less loss in the femoral neck shaft angle, lower incidence of screw retraction, femoral neck shortening, and internal fixation failure than the PTS, therefore, the FTS fixation is more reliable for femoral neck fractures.
