Better hip function and quality of life with hemiarthroplasty for femoral neck fracture
This study has been identified as potentially high impact.
OE's AI-driven High Impact metric estimates the influence a paper is likely to have by integrating signals from both the journal in which it is published and the scientific content of the article itself.
Developed using state-of-the-art natural language processing, the OE High Impact model more accurately predicts a study's future citation performance than journal impact factor alone.
This enables earlier recognition of clinically meaningful research and helps readers focus on articles most likely to shape future practice.
Hemiarthroplasty or internal fixation for intracapsular displaced femoral neck fractures: randomised controlled trial
BMJ. 2007 Dec 15;335(7632):1251-4. Epub 2007 Dec 4.222 patients (165 women) with displaced intracapsular femoral neck fracture were randomized to receive one of two surgical procedures. 112 patients received the closed reduction and two parallel screws procedure, while 110 patients received the bipolar cemented hemiarthroplasty. Results demonstrated that hemiarthroplasty produced better functional outcomes and better ratings of health-related quality of life compared to patients that underwent the internal fixation procedure.
