Aims. This study aimed to describe practice variation in the use of total hip arthroplasty (THA) for older patients with femoral neck fracture and to determine the association between patient, surgeon, and institution factors and treatment with THA. Methods. We performed a cross-sectional analysis of 49,597 patients aged 60 years and older from Ontario, Canada, who underwent
Aims. Despite few good-quality studies on the subject, total hip arthroplasty (THA) is increasingly being performed for displaced intracapsular fractures of the neck of femur. We compared outcomes of all patients with displacement of these fractures treated surgically over a ten-year period in one institution. Methods. A total of 2,721 patients with intracapsular fractures of the femoral neck treated with either a cemented

Aims. Surgical site infection can be a devastating complication of
hemiarthroplasty of the hip, when performed in elderly patients
with a displaced fracture of the femoral neck. It results in a prolonged
stay in hospital, a poor outcome and increased costs. Many studies
have identified risk and prognostic factors for deep infection.
However, most have combined the rates of infection following total
hip arthroplasty and internal fixation as well as
