Can the Nottingham Hip Fracture Score Predict Total Hip Replacement Versus Hemiarthroplasty Candidates?
Hemiarthroplasty patients are older and have higher mortality. Within NHFS 4-6 and in some circumstances, THR was associated with lower mortality and more favourable discharge outcomes. NHFS may complement the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidance in identifying candidates most likely to benefit from THR vs. hip hemiarthroplasty.
