More hip complications after total hip arthroplasty than after hemi­arthroplasty as hip fracture treatment: analysis of 5815 matched pairs in the Swedish Hip Arthroplasty Register

摘要

Background and purpose — Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is increasing as treatment of displaced femoral neck fractures. Several studies compare hemiarthroplasty (HA) with THA, but results vary and few studies report on medical complications. We examined the outcome of THA and HA with a focus on medical complications, hip complications, and death.
