Study Summary

This trial will compare the benefits of two surgical approaches for hip replacement surgery to help patients recover faster and with less muscle damage.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for patients needing a hemiarthroplasty due to a femoral neck fracture. Participants must be able to read, write, and sign an informed consent form.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study compares two surgical approaches for hip repair after a fracture: the Direct Anterior Approach (front of the hip) versus the Lateral approach (side of the hip), focusing on recovery speed and patient outcomes.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Potential side effects may include varying levels of muscle damage, pain, and differences in mobility or function during recovery depending on the surgical method used.
