angle constructs whenever possible in the treatment of high-angle femoral neck fractures in young populations. Given the statistically similar findings between cannulated screw groups in our study, we could not recommend either the inverted triangle or cross screw group over the other. We commend the authors of “The effect of moment arm length on high angled femoral neck fractures (Pauwels’ III)” for their outstanding work and hope that both studies validate the biomechanical superiority of fixed angle constructs for fixation of these fractures. We believe that both papers provide important contributions to the body of work regarding the optimal management of a very challenging injury.
