Minimally invasive total hip arthroplasty versus minimally invasive hemiarthroplasty for geriatric femoral neck fractures: efficacy and impact on inflammatory and stress markers

MIS-THA provides superior efficacy, faster functional recovery, and more pronounced pain relief, along with a milder inflammatory and stress response, compared to MIS-HA in elderly patients with FNFs. Despite longer operation time, greater intraoperative blood loss, and higher postoperative drainage, MIS-THA and MIS-HA exhibit similar safety profiles, as evidenced by comparable hospitalization durations and complication rates.
