Initial worse patient-reported outcomes of conversion total hip arthroplasty after failed proximal femoral fracture fixation were comparable to primary hip arthroplasty after 5 years
Objectives and questions: Conversion total hip arthroplasty (cTHA) is challenging after failed osteosynthesis of hip fractures and often considered a revision rather than a primary THA (pTHA) intervention. This study aims to compare the mid- to long-term postoperative functional and radiological outcomes [for full text, please go to the a.m. URL]
