- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Harris hip score 17 years HHS index score of 0 indicates the worst possible function of the hip and a value of 100 indicates full function.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Reoperations and complications 17 years IF group: nonunion, osteonecrosis, deep infection or fracture in the vicinity of the screws. Protruding screws or extraction of the screws when the fracture was healed was not defined as a complication.
