Brief Summary:
Patients with dislocated hip fractures are randomised to cemented hemiarthroplasty with an anterolateral approach or a direct lateral approach.
Detailed Description:
Dislocated intracapsular hip fractures are usually treated with cemented hemiarthroplasty. In Norway, a direct lateral approach is most often used, as recommended in national guidelines. In total hip arthroplasty, however, minimally invasive approaches are also commonly used, and may improve the clinical results, as compared to posterior or direct lateral approaches.
The aims of the present study are to evaluate the effect of the minimally invasive anterolateral approach (Watson-Jones approach) compared to the direct lateral approach (Hardinge approach) to the hip joint in hemiarthroplasty after dislocated hip fractures.
Patients with dislocated hip fractures who are fit for cemented hemiarthroplasty are randomised to surgery with an anterolateral approach or a direct lateral approach.
