Young femoral neck fractures remain challenging fractures to treat. Reduction has repeatedly been shown to be the single most important determinant of patient outcome, and treating surgeons should do all they can to achieve anatomic reduction because this is an outcome variable within the surgeon's control. Whether an open or closed reduction is performed, we hope to provide the reader with reduction strategies when faced with this difficult fracture pattern. In addition, we hope to review indications and techniques for using the various treatment implants/modalities that are currently available as they pertain to reduction and fixation.
