Time to Minimal Clinically Important Difference in Patients Undergoing Conversion Total Hip Arthroplasty After Femoral Neck Fracture: A Propensity Score Matched Study
The time to achieve MCID was markedly slower for FNF cTHA patients compared with pTHA patients. This delay in achieving MCID should be factored into shared decision-making discussions to enhance preoperative expectation management and patient education. Future research is needed to identify modifiable factors that could improve recovery outcomes for FNF cTHA patients.
