The Role of Total Hip Arthroplasty Through the Direct Anterior Approach in Femoral Neck Fracture and Factors Affecting the Outcome

摘要

Background: Femoral neck fractures (FNFs) are a significant cause of mortality and disability among the elderly population. Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is the preferred treating method in active, cognitively intact patients. The direct anterior approach (DAA) has suggested a lowerdislocation risk and a significant reduction in postoperative pain and recovery time in elective THA. This study aimed to compare clinical outcomes, perioperative complications, and mortality of THA through the DAA between FNF and elective cases.
