Description
Grace Kennedy, Julie Craig, Samuel McMahon, and Laurence Cusick report hip replacement outcomes in fracture care in a study from two thousand twenty-four. Total hip replacement is now common for displaced fractures inside the hip joint capsule. A regional trauma centre in Northern Ireland reviewed its cases.
Three hundred forty-five patients treated over seven years had a median age of seventy. Death rates were low: three per thousand at thirty days and about five percent at two years. Two percent suffered dislocation, and under five percent needed another operation. Extra bone growth appeared in about fourteen percent but rarely forced surgery. Most patients kept the independence they had before injury. The authors rate the results favorably.
