Early versus delayed hip arthroplasty for femoral neck fractures in the elderly: a comparative study on multidimensional recovery
Hip arthroplasty performed within 48 h after femoral neck fracture in the elderly significantly decreases early complications, shortens hospitalisation, accelerates functional recovery and sustains better mood and daily activity without increasing intra-operative risk or late mortality.
