Aims. In this study, we aimed to explore surgical variations in the Femoral Neck System (FNS) used for stable fixation of Pauwels type III
Aims. Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is considered the preferred treatment for displaced proximal
Aims. The aim of this study was to explore the functional results in a fitter subgroup of participants in the Hip Fracture Evaluation with Alternatives of Total Hip Arthroplasty versus Hemiarthroplasty (HEALTH) trial to determine whether there was an advantage of total hip arthroplasty (THA) versus hemiarthroplasty (HA) in this population. Methods. We performed a post hoc exploratory analysis of a fitter cohort of patients from the HEALTH trial. Participants were aged over 50 years and had sustained a low-energy displaced
Aims. The aim of this investigation was to compare risk of infection in both cemented and uncemented hemiarthroplasty (HA) as well as in total hip arthroplasty (THA) following
The covid-19 pandemic had a great impact in the daily clinical and surgical practice. Concerning patients with a

The influence of rigid fixation and permanent compression on the results, the timing of fusion and rehabilitation after fractures of the femoral neck was investigated. A hip fracture is 60–80% of all fractures of the proximal femur. Despite recent advances in the treatment of this disease, the percentage of unsatisfactory outcomes as high as 25–35%. The choice of surgical treatment in
