4. Arthroplasty in patients with femoral neck fractures
Abstract : The aim of this thesis was to analyze hip function and the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in patients with a displaced fracture of the femoral neck treated with a cemented total hip arthroplasty (THA) or a hemiarthroplasty (HA), unipolar or bipolar. Moreover, the purpose was to analyze factors influencing the stability of the THA with special reference to the surgical approach and to evaluate the responsiveness of the Short Musculoskeletal Function Assessment (SMFA), i.

However, dislocation of the prosthesis remains a substantial clinical problem in this patient group and the dislocation rate is considerably higher than what can be expected following a THA in patients with osteoarthritis.
