Review Meta AnalysisHemiarthroplasty versus total arthroplasty for displaced femoral neck fractures in the elderly: meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials.
Displaced femoral neck fractures (FNF) are complicated by high mortality rates and continue to represent an important cause of disability, having a negative impact on patient mobility and physical independence. The purpose of this study was to update and analyse current outcomes and evidence concerning hip hemiarthroplasty (HHA) versus total hip arthroplasty (THA) for displaced femoral neck fractures in the elderly. Thus, a meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials was conducted. ⋯ Level I, meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials.
