The FNS appears to be a valid alternative implant for FNF osteosynthesis and is associated with a shorter operative time than TS and DHS. Short-term clinical and radiological outcomes of FNS are similar to TS and DHS implants. Further long-term multicenter randomized studies are however necessary to confirm these first results.
