and Clinical Excellence guidelines recommend the use of total hip replacement
(THR) for displaced intracapsular fractures of the femoral neck
in cognitively intact patients, who were independently mobile prior
to the injury. This study aimed to analyse the risk factors associated
with revision of the implant and mortality following THR, and to
quantify risk. National Joint Registry data recording a THR performed
