Hips Screws or (Total) Hip Replacement for Undisplaced Femoral Neck Fractures in Elderly Patients (HipSTHeR) (HipSTHeR)
HipSTHeR - a Registerbased Randomized Controlled Trial - Hip Screws or (Total) Hip Replacement for Undisplaced Femoral Neck Fractures in Elderly Patients.
Sponsor: The Swedish Research Council
Listed as NCT03966716, this NA trial focuses on Femoral Neck Fractures and Undisplaced Fracture and remains actively recruiting participants. Sponsored by The Swedish Research Council, it has been updated 13 times since 2019, reflecting substantial change activity. This study adds to the evidence base for this therapeutic area through structured, versioned documentation.
Study Description(click to expand)The aim of this study is to determine whether the treatment of elderly patients with an undisplaced femoral neck fracture (uFNF) can be improved by decreasing reoperation rates through replacing the hip instead of trying to preserve it. Patients ≥75 years with an uFNF will be included and randomized within the Swedish Fracture Register (SFR) platform to internal fixation (screws/pins) or arthroplasty (choice of hemi or total is at the surgeon's discretion). The primary outcome will be a composite variable that combines two variables (reoperations and mortality) into a single variable.
