    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Hip fracture; femoral neck fracture; total hip arthroplasty; hemiarthroplasty; long-term results; demography; patient-reported outcome; health-related quality of life; pain; satisfaction;

    Abstract : Hip fractures are devastating for the individual and a substantial economic burden for society. The treatment for displaced femoral neck fracture is a choice between internal fixation, total hip arthroplasty and hemiarthroplasty. READ MORE

  4. 2. Aspects on treatment of femoral neck fractures : studies on treatment methods, surgical approach and external validity

    Abstract : Femoral neck fracture (FNF) is a great challenge for today´s health care and is associated with high mortality and morbidity in the elderly.  In the short term several studies in the literature have demonstrated improved hip function, quality of life and fewer re-operations in elderly patients treated with total hip arthroplasty (THA) instead of internal fixation (IF).

  5. 3. Surgical treatment of patients with displaced femoral neck fractures : aspects on outcome and selection criteria

    Author : Richard Blomfeldt; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : displaced cervical femoral neck fractures; internal fixation; arthroplasty; total hip replacement; bipolar hip replacement.;

    Abstract : The optimal treatment for elderly patients with femoral neck fractures, i.e. internal fixation (IF), hemiarthroplasty (HA) or total hip replacement (THR), should be based on the individual patient's age, functional demands and risk profile. READ MORE

  6. 4. Arthroplasty in patients with femoral neck fractures

    Author : Carl Johan Hedbeck; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    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.

  7. 5. Displaced femoral neck fractures in the elderly : treatment with arthroplasties

    Author : Christian Inngul; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Treatment of displaced femoral neck fractures in the elderly with arthroplasties has become standard practice during the last decade and results in good and predictable outcomes regarding hip function and health-related quality of life (HRQoL). There is, however, a lack of evidence concerning certain types of arthroplasties and different subgroups of patients. READ MORE
