We read with great interest the recent study titled “How to choose the suitable FNS
specification in young patients with femoral neck fracture: A finite element analysis”
by Zhirong Fan et al. [
[1]
]. This study is up-to-date, especially for the new internal fixation device named
the Femoral Neck System (FNS), which was recently invented for treating femoral neck
fractures (FNFs). We would like to congratulate the authors on this meaningful study.
However, there is still a key point worth mentioning.To read this article in full you will need to make a payment
