Comparison of time to healing and major complications after surgical fixation of nondisplaced femoral neck stress fractures: A systematic review

•Femoral neck stress fractures are an uncommon injury.•There is no recent literature review comparing outcomes of fixation methods for nondisplaced femoral neck stress fractures.•No difference exists in complications for surgical fixation of nondisplaced femoral neck stress fractures with cannulated vs sliding hip screw.•Time to full weight bearing after surgical fixation was not dependent on implant choice.•Subjects with restricted weight bearing beyond 8 weeks had statistically significant increases in healing times.
