Summary

The goal of this randomized pilot study is to assess feasibility of the trial and to collect information to inform the design of a definitive trial. Adult patients ages 60 years or older with a low-energy minimally displaced femoral neck fracture (FNF) treated with surgery will be eligible to participate in the study. Patients will be randomized to one of two treatment groups, hip arthroplasty or internal fixation. Participants will be followed for 1 year.

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Arthroplasty
