    Objective: Despite several surgical options, there has yet to be a consensus on the best treatment for femoral neck fracture (FNF) due to higher complication rates compared to other bone fractures. This study aims to examine the possible consequences and solution suggestions of changing screws during surgery for various reasons in FNF surgical treatment from a biomechanical perspective. Method: FNF and treatment materials were analyzed biomechanically using a package program based on the finite element method (FEM). This study created a solid model with images of femur bone tomography. Dynamic hip screws (DHS), cannulated screws (CCS), and medial buttress plates (MBP) were obtained by making three-dimensional designs. The required elements for the models were assigned, and the material properties of the elements were defined. The solutions were obtained as crack distance and deformation results after defining the boundary conditions and applying the necessary loading. Results: The strain and crack distance values created by six models on the fracture line under different parameters were obtained, and the numerical results were evaluated. The DHS and CCS models produced the highest crack distance and deformation values when all screws were loose. The lowest values were obtained in the intact-85 model when all CCS were tight. When the results are evaluated, it is seen that the MBP has a decreasing effect on the results. Mechanical evaluation of six different options used in femoral neck fractures was performed. 85 mm CCS applied to our standard model gave the best results, while the use of 80 mm CCS in the same model showed promising results compared to other models. It is understood that CCS have the best stability even in loosening models with the medial support plate. Different models are from intact-85 mm DHS+1CS+MBP to DHS+1CS, which was worked with LSR+USR-2, according to decreasing stability. Conclusion: This study offers various biomechanical solutions to possible intraoperative problems in FNF treatment. The following results were obtained from the study data. When the CCS needs to be lengthened or replaced, it is appropriate to use the CCS with the MBP. A single anti-rotation screw is sufficient for lag screw extensions of the DHS plate, and the MBP may be a savior procedure in surgery.

    Biomechanical analysis of odontoid and transverse atlantal ligament in humans with ponticulus posticus variation under different loading conditions: finite element study
    (Elsevier, 2022) Güvercin, Yılmaz; Yaylacı, Murat; Dizdar, Ayberk; Kanat, Ayhan; Uzun Yaylacı, Ecren; Ay, Sevil; Abdioğlu, Ahmet Atilla; Şen, Ahmet
    Purpose: Ponticulus posticus (PP) is a variation of the bone bridge that appears in the first cervical vertebra and through which the vertebral artery passes. Odontoid fractures are common spinal bone fractures in older people. This study aims to investigate the effect of neck movements on the odontoid and transverse atlantal ligament (TAL) of people with PP variation from a biomechanical view. Method: C1, C2, and C3 vertebrae of the occipital bone were analyzed using the finite element method (FEM). In this study, solid models were created with the help of normal (N), incomplete (IC), and asymmetric complete (AC) PP tomography images. The necessary elements for the models were assigned, and the material properties were defined for the elements. As boundary conditions, models were fixed from the C3 vertebra, and 74 N loading was applied from the occipital bone. Stress and deformation values in the odontoid and transverse atlantal ligament were obtained by applying 1.8 Nm moment in flexion, extension, bending, and axial rotation directions. Results: The stress and deformation values of all three models in odontoid and TAL were obtained, and numerical results were evaluated. In all models, stress and deformation values were obtained in decreasing order in rotation, bending, extension, and flexion movements. The highest stress and strain values were obtained in AC and the lowest values were obtained in N. In all movements of the three models, the stress and deformation values obtained in the TAL were lower than in the odontoid. Conclusion: The greatest stresses and deformations obtained in spines (AC) with PP were found in the odontoid. This may help explain the pathogenesis of odontoid fractures in older people. First, this study explains the mechanism of the formation of neck trauma in people with PP and the need for a more careful evaluation of the direction of impact. Secondly, the study reveals that the rotational motion of the neck independent of PP has more negative effects on the odontoid.
