Letter to the Editor concerning “Structure-mechanical analysis of various fixation constructs for basicervical fractures of the proximal femur and clinical implications; finite element analysis”

We read the recent paper published in your journal entitled “Structure-mechanical analysis of various fixation constructs for basicervical fractures of the proximal femur and clinical implications; finite element analysis” by Kim JW et al.[1].The authors present an interesting study that compares the stability of five internal fixations in basicervical f ractures of the femoral neck fracture using finite element analysis (FEA). However, we have a concern regarding the selected femoral neck fracture surface contact type and its potential impact on the results.
