About This Femoral Neck Fractures Study in Baltimore

This study is an intervention domain of the Musculoskeletal Adaptive Platform Trial. The primary goal of this pragmatic, randomized, open-label, comparative effectiveness trial is to evaluate if arthroplasty is superior to internal fixation when used to treat minimally displaced femoral neck fractures in older adults ≥60 years old. We hypothesize that arthroplasty will reduce death, preserve ambulation, increase days alive and out of hospital, and improve health status compared to internal fixation within 4 months and 12 months from randomization.

Sponsor: University of Southern California

Minimally displaced fracture that could be, in the judgment of the attending surgeon, managed with either arthroplasty or in situ internal fixation without reduction.
Low energy injury mechanism.
Surgeons with expertise in internal fixation and total hip arthroplasty or hemiarthroplasty are available to perform surgery.
