Surgical approaches in hemiarthroplasty for hip fracture
This study indicates that PA is associated with a higher reoperation rate after HA compared to the two other approaches. This is primarily due to high dislocation rate, despite a higher infection rate with DLA. EQ-5D-3L and EQ-VAS appear to favour ALA and PA 12 months post-surgery. Based on this study, traditional PA should be avoided in this patient group. ALA seems to be a safe alternative to the DLA.
