Objective  To investigate the clinical efficacy of computer-assisted cannulated screw internal fixation system based on error correction method for femoral neck fractures. Methods  A retrospective analysis was made on the clinical data of 20 femoral neck fracture patients treated by computer-assisted cannulated screw internal fixation system based on error correction method between January 2014 and October 2015 (trial group), and 36 femoral neck fracture patients undergoing traditional manual surgery with closed reduction by cannulated screw fixation in the same period (the control group). There was no significant difference in gender, age, injury cause, side of fracture, types of fracture, and time from injury to operation between 2 groups (P>0.05). The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, intraoperative frequency of fluoroscopy and guide pin insertion, fracture healing time, fracture healing rate, and Harris hip score were compared between 2 groups. Results  All incisions healed by first intention after operation, and no complication of blood vessel and nerve injury occurred. The operation time of trial group was significantly longer than that of control group (t=2.290,P=0.026), however, the intraoperative blood loss, intraoperative frequency of fluoroscopy and guide pin insertion of trial group were significantly less than those of control group (t=–10.650,P=0.000;t=18.320,P=0.000;t=–16.625,P=0.000). All patients were followed up 12-18 months (mean, 14.7 months). X-ray films showed that fracture healing was obtained in 2 groups, showing no significant difference in fracture healing time between 2 groups (t=0.208,P=0.836). No complication of ischemic necrosis of femoral head occurred during follow-up period. At last follow-up, the Harris hip score was 87.05±3.12 in trial group and was 86.78±2.83 in control group, showing no significant difference (t=0.333,P=0.741). Conclusion  Computer-assisted cannulated screw internal fixation surgery based on error correction method for femoral neck fractures is better than traditional manual surgery in decreasing intraoperative radiation and surgical trauma during operation.
