Does open reduction and internal fixation compared to arthroplasty improve outcomes in patients with femoral neck fractures?
This review summarizes the evidence and cost-effectiveness of internal fixation versus arthroplasty for the treatment of femoral neck fractures across different patient populations.
Dijkman et al. (2008) conducted a review in Femoral neck fractures. Open reduction and internal fixation vs. Arthroplasty was evaluated. This review summarizes the available evidence and cost-effectiveness comparing open reduction and internal fixation versus arthroplasty for the treatment of femoral neck fractures.
