No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The aim of the study is to test the hypothesis that patients older than 60 years with a femoral neck fracture eligible for hemi-arthroplasty (HA) operated by an anterior minimal-invasive approach as compared to a standard lateral Hardinge approach show better functional recovery postoperatively as measured by the "Timed up and go"-test (TUG).
