Article Synopsis
- A clinical trial compared the long-term outcomes of total hip replacement versus internal fixation in 100 elderly patients with displaced femoral neck fractures, following them for seventeen years.
- Results showed that patients who received total hip replacements had significantly better hip function scores, with a mean difference of 14.7 points, and required fewer major reoperations compared to those with internal fixation.
- Despite differences in hip function and reoperation rates, there was no significant difference in mortality between the two groups over the study period.
