Hip hemiarthroplasty for femur neck fractures: minimally invasive direct anterior approach versus postero-lateral approach.
The minimally invasive direct anterior approach (MDAA) has been reported to be useful in total hip arthroplasty. The benefits of this approach may be useful for the treatment of femoral neck fractures. Aim of this study is to compare MDAA and postero-lateral approach (PLA) in patients treated with hip hemiarthroplasty for femoral neck fractures. ⋯ Therapeutic study, level IV (case series).
