An observational study in Hip Fractures, Femoral Neck Fractures and Undisplaced Fracture, sponsored by Sundsvall Hospital. Completed. Open to participants aged 65 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2018-01-05.
Sponsored by Sundsvall Hospital · Observational
Purpose The purpose of this study is to compare the clinical outcome and the rate of reoperations in a cohort of patients with undisplaced femoral neck fractures treated with internal fixation and patients with displaced femoral neck fractures treated with hip arthroplasty.
Methods In a consecutive series of patients we compared the results of internal fixation for undisplaced femoral neck fractures with those of hip arthroplasty for displaced fractures (control group) of elderly patients. Risk of reoperation and patient reported hip function assessed with Harris hip score and WOMAC were used as outcome measurements.
207 studies on the registry are indexed under Femoral Neck Fractures; 40 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 235 is above the median of 137 across 60 observational studies indexed under Femoral Neck Fractures.

To evaluate the potential benefit of surgery with arthroplasty. All patients treated at Sundsvall hospital, Sweden for a displaced femoral neck fracture treated with hip arthroplasty or a undisplaced femoral neck fracture treated with internal fixation were included in a prospective cohort study.

Ran from Jan 2013 to primary completion in May 2015, 28 months.
Of 20 observational studies under Femoral Neck Fractures, half reached primary completion within 40 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 28 and three quarters within 120. This study's 28 months is below that.
