Aims. Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is considered the preferred treatment for displaced proximal
Surgical interventions consisting of internal
fixation (IF) or total hip replacement (THR) are required to restore
patient mobility after hip fractures. Conventionally, this decision
was based solely upon the degree of fracture displacement. However,
in the last ten years, there has been a move to incorporate patient
characteristics into the decision making process. Research demonstrating
that joint replacement renders superior functional results when compared
with IF, in the treatment of displaced
Aims. To evaluate the rate of dislocation following dual mobility total hip arthroplasty (DM-THA) in patients with displaced
Aims. While interdisciplinary protocols and expedited surgical treatment improve the management of hip fractures in the elderly, the impact of such interventions on patients specifically undergoing arthroplasty for a
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
