Total Hip Arthroplasty Outperforms Hemiarthroplasty in Patients Aged 65 Yearsand Older: A Propensity-Matched Study of Short-Term Outcomes

摘要

Introduction:Displaced femoral neck fractures in the elderly individuals may be treated with total hip arthroplasty (THA) or hip hemiarthroplasty (HHA). However, it is unclear what the short-term medical outcomes are related to these surgical options. The purpose of this study was to compare early postoperative outcomes in THA patients to those of HHA patients.
