An interventional study of Internal fixation and Total hip arthroplasty in Femoral Neck Fracture, sponsored by Danderyd Hospital. Completed at 1 site in Sweden. Open to participants aged 65 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2012-11-27.
Sponsored by Danderyd Hospital · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
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.

Inclusion Criteria:
Displaced femoral neck fracture treated with internal fixation using two parallel cannulated screws.
Procedure: Internal fixation
Displaced femoral neck fracture treated with total hip replacement through a posterior approach.
Procedure: Total hip arthroplasty
Two cannulated screws are placed under x-ray guidance
A total hip arthroplasty is performed through a standard posterior approach
Harris hip score
HHS index score of 0 indicates the worst possible function of the hip and a value of 100 indicates full function.
Time frame: 17 years
Reoperations and complications
IF group: nonunion, osteonecrosis, deep infection or fracture in the vicinity of the screws. Protruding screws or extraction of the screws when the fracture was healed was not defined as a complication. THR group: radiographic signs of loosening of the femoral- or acetabular component, dislocation, periprosthetic fracture or deep infection
Time frame: 17 years
