Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Harris hip scores

    To assess hip function recovery in patients. The hip function is assessed by Harris scores ranging from 0-100: excellent ≥ 90, good 80-90, fair 70-79, bad \< 70. The higher scores indicate better hip function.

    changes of baseline, week 1 and month 6 postoperatively

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Length of surgical incision

    during the surgery

  • Intraoperative blood loss

    during the surgery

Study Arms (2)

Experimental group

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients with femoral neck fractures are randomly assigned to undergo femoral head replacement via the SuperPATH approach in the experimental group.

Procedure: Experimental group

Control group

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients with femoral neck fractures are randomly assigned to undergo femoral head replacement via the conventional posterior approach in the control group.
