A Novel Fluoroscopic View for Improved Assessment of the Safety of the Posterosuperior Screw in Femoral Neck Fracture Fixation.

Surgeons often utilize the standard posteroanterior and 0° lateral fluoroscopic views to safely place screws; however, many of these screws are IOI. The addition of a -15° rollunder lateral view significantly improved identification of IOI screws in the posterosuperior femoral neck. Unidentified IOI screw placement may result in damage to the blood supply of the femoral head.
