NCT01798472

Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to compare the functional and radiological outcome after displaced, femoral neck fractures treated with either cemented or uncemented arthroplasties. The primary hypothesis is that the uncemented arthroplasty shows the same functional outcome at 12 month as the cemented arthroplasty.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Harris Hip Score

    Our primary outcome variable is the Harris Hip Score at 12 month follow up. Harris Hip Score is an investigator reported tool evaluating hip function in four dimensions: Pain, function, absence of deformity and range of motion

    12 month

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Health related quality of life

    12 month

  • Radiological follow up

    12 month

Other Outcomes (1)

  • General and surgical complications

    from operation until 12 month postoperatively

Study Arms (4)

uncemented hemiarthroplasty

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients aged 80 or older with displaced femoral neck fracture treated with an uncemented hemiarthroplasty

Procedure: uncemented hemiarthroplasty

reverse hybrid total hip arthroplasty

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients aged between 65 and 79 years treated with an reverse hybrid arthroplasty.

Procedure: reverse hybrid total hip arthroplasty

cemented hemiarthroplasty

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Patients aged 80 or older with displaced femoral neck fracture treated with an cemented hemiarthroplasty

Procedure: cemented hemiarthroplasty

cemented total hip arthroplasty

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Patients aged between 65 and 79 years treated with an cemented total hip arthroplasty.

Procedure: cemented total hip arthroplasty

Interventions

Patients aged 80 years and older operated with an cemented hemiarthroplasty. Fixation of the wedge-shaped, polished ChromCobalt steel femoral stem to host bone by use of PolyMetylMetAcrylat bone cement. The acetabulum is not replaced. The prosthesis articulates with the patients acetabulum with an unipolar, femoral head made of ChromCobalt steel.

Also known as: Femoral stem, Exeter, Stryker, Unipolar femoral head, Stryker, Bone cement, Optipac, Biomet
cemented hemiarthroplasty

Patients aged 65 to 79 years operated with an uncemented femoral component combined with cemented acetabular cup. The femoral stem is fixed to the host bone by press-fit technique. We use a tapered, proximally hydroxyapatite coated, titanium stem. The acetabular cup is fixed to the host bone with bone cement. We use an all-polyethylene design. Bone cement consists of PolyMetylMetAcrylat.

cemented total hip arthroplasty

Patients aged 80 years and older are randomized to uncemented hemiarthroplasty. Fixation of the tapered, proximally hydroxyapatite coated, titanium stem to the host bone by "press-fit"-technique. The acetabulum is not replaced. The prosthesis articulates with the patients acetabulum with an unipolar, femoral head made of ChromCobalt steel.
