Revision rates after internal fixation remain high despite physiologic status selection; leaves open whether better criteria can safely expand fixation use.
Does treatment selection based on a physiologic status score reduce revision rates compared with meta-analysis data in patients with displaced femoral neck fractures?
Treatment choice based on physiologic status score does not substantially improve clinical decision making for internal fixation in displaced femoral neck fractures, as revision rates remained high.
Heetveld et al. (2007) studied this question.
