Subjective hip function similar, better mobility with hemiarthroplasty vs. screw fixation for FN Frx
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.
Screw Fixation Versus Hemiarthroplasty for Nondisplaced Femoral Neck Fractures in Elderly Patients: A Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial
J Bone Joint Surg Am. 2019 Jan 16;101(2):136-144. doi: 10.2106/JBJS.18.00316219 patients with a nondisplaced femoral neck fracture were randomized to treatment with either hemiarthroplasty or screw fixation with two cancellous screws. Patients were followed up at 3, 12, and 24 months postoperatively. Primary outcome was the Harris Hip Score, while secondary outcomes included mobility, pain, quality of life, and rate of reoperation. For the primary outcome, there was no significant difference between groups in HHS at 3, 12, or 24 months. Outcomes which demonstrated significant differences between groups included Timed Up-and-Go test times, incidence of major reoperation, and incidence of major surgical complications, all of which favoured hemiarthroplasty compared to screw fixation.
