Overview

Brief Summary

The primary aim of this study was to determine the Harris hip score as an evaluation of hip function, in mentally competent elderly patients (>65 years old) treated with either THR or IF, after contracting a displaced femoral neck fracture. The secondary aim was to compare the rate of reoperations and complications between the two groups.
