    The study analyzed 217 adults with femoral neck fractures treated with internal fixation from 2012 to 2023.

  • 2

    Fixation failure occurred in 24.0%, avascular necrosis in 14.3%, and nonunion in 9.7% of patients.

  • 3

    Displaced fracture patterns, poor reduction quality, and excessive alcohol consumption were linked to fixation failure and AVN.

  • 4

    Earlier surgery and cannulated screw fixation were associated with lower odds of nonunion.

  • 5

    Optimizing reduction quality and addressing modifiable risk factors can improve outcomes in femoral neck fractures.
