Total hip replacement and hemiarthroplasty in mobile, independent patients with a displaced intracapsular fracture of the femoral neck: A seven-ten-year follow-up report of a prospective randomised controlled trial
Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery BR; 2011; 93(B); 1045-104881 elderly patients with displaced intracapsular fractures of the femoral neck were randomized to receive treatment based upon either total hip replacement (THR) or hemiarthroplasty (HA).
