Clinical and Functional Outcomes of Lateral vs Posterior Hemiarthroplasty

This prospective, single-center, randomized clinical trial compared the clinical and functional outcomes of hemiarthroplasty performed via lateral versus posterior surgical approaches in elderly patients with displaced intracapsular femoral neck fractures. The primary objective was to compare prosthetic dislocation and intraoperative femoral fracture rates between the two approaches. Secondary outcomes included functional scores, radiological parameters, complications, and mortality.
