NCT01344772

Brief Summary

The primary aim of this study was to determine the Harris hip score as an evaluation of hip function, in mentally competent elderly patients (\>65 years old) treated with either THR or IF, after contracting a displaced femoral neck fracture. The secondary aim was to compare the rate of reoperations and complications between the two groups.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Harris hip score

    HHS index score of 0 indicates the worst possible function of the hip and a value of 100 indicates full function.

    17 years

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Reoperations and complications

    17 years

Study Arms (2)

Internal fixation

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Displaced femoral neck fracture treated with internal fixation using two parallel cannulated screws.

Procedure: Internal fixation

Total hip replacement

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Displaced femoral neck fracture treated with total hip replacement through a posterior approach.

Procedure: Total hip arthroplasty

Interventions

Two cannulated screws are placed under x-ray guidance

Internal fixation

A total hip arthroplasty is performed through a standard posterior approach

Total hip replacement
