Open reduction internal fixation versus hemiarthroplasty versus total hip arthroplasty in the elderly: a review of the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database

Comparison of hemiarthroplasty and total hip arthroplasty in elderly patients with displaced femoral neck fractures

“…Dislocation is a problem that may require reoperation and reportedly occurs in up to 19% of patients after HA procedures and in up to 22% of patients after THA procedures. 3,14,16,18–20,22,23,25,26,28,30–32,34,35,38,39 Baker et al. 23 reported that seven patients with FNFs underwent THA and developed dislocation, and all of them required reoperation.…”

Total hip replacement for neck of femur fracture: Comparing outcomes with matched elective cohort

“…Fisher et al performed a retrospective analysis on 3,423 patients aged ≥ 65 years with NOF# treated with open reduction internal fixation, HA and THR; and concluded that there were no difference in the 30-days mortality rate (11). Two randomised controlled trials have compared the outcomes between internal fixation and THR for displaced NOF#, and further concluded that THR can provide better hip function and associated with significantly less reoperations without increasing mortality (12,13).…”

Comparing Survival Following Hip Fracture Repair in VHA and Non-VHA Facilities

“…Intraoperative care differences, such as type of anesthesia, 11 choice of surgical technique, 21,22 and procedure length may also contribute to the survival differences observed in this Clearly, more detailed study of differences in care characteristics between the two care systems and the relationship between care and outcomes needs to be undertaken. For the present study, detailed perioperative care data were available only for the VHA cohort.…”
