An interventional study of Direct anterior approach hemiarthroplasty and Posterior lateral approach hemiarthroplasty in Function and Pain, sponsored by Fujian Provincial Hospital. Completed at 1 site in China. Open to participants aged 80 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2025-06-11.
Sponsored by Fujian Provincial Hospital · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
A prospective controlled study was conducted to include patients who received hip replacement surgery for femoral neck fractures at the National Regional Trauma Center in Fujian Province from February 2023 to August 2024. Patients were randomly divided into the DAA group and the PLA group based on different surgical methods for a 3-month follow-up to compare the outcomes of the two groups. The main observation results include Harris hip joint function score (preoperative, postoperative 1 week, 1 month, 3 months), VAS pain score (preoperative, postoperative 1 week, 1 month, 3 months), and secondary observation results include surgical time, intraoperative blood loss, blood transfusion rate, difference in HB before and after surgery, difference in CK before and after surgery, perioperative complications, difference in length of both lower limbs after surgery, postoperative drainage volume, postoperative ICU occupancy rate, ICU length of stay, and total length of stay.
