Official Title: Full Repairing Versus Partial Repairing of Soft Tissue Surrounding the Hip Joint in Hip Arthroplasty for Femoral Neck Fractures

Brief Summary: A prospective cohort study to compare full repairing and partial repairing of soft tissue surrounding the hip joint in anteriorolateral approaching arthroplasty concerning hip function. Patients admitted with a femoral neck fracture operated with a hip arthroplasty through an anteriorolateral approach were screened for inclusion. Patients with altered mental status SPMSQ <7, pathological fractures, non-walkers were excluded.

Detailed Summary: Those who fulfilled the inclusion criteria and non of the exclusion criteria were followed 2 months postoperatively by clinical examination. Sample size were estimated to 15 patients in each group. Primary outcome variables were trendelenburg test, abductor strength measured with dynamometry. Secondary outcome variables were WOMAC, EQ-5D, and VAS scores.

Current Primary Outcome:

  • Trendelenburg Test [ Time Frame: At 4 week postoperatively ]
    30 seconds standing on the operated leg
  • Abductor strength [ Time Frame: At 4 week postoperatively ]
    Dynamometry


Original Primary Outcome: Same as current

Current Secondary Outcome:

  • WOMAC [ Time Frame: At 2, 4, 6 weeks and 12 months postoperatively ]
    An established hip score
  • Quality of life (EQ-5D) [ Time Frame: At 2, 4, 6 weeks and 12 months postoperatively ]
    EQ-5D
  • Pain (Visual analouge scale) [ Time Frame: At 2, 4, 6 weeks and 12 months postoperatively ]
    Visual analouge scale (VAS): At rest and during activity


Original Secondary Outcome: Same as current
