Hip surgery comparison for nondisplaced femoral neck fracture
Treatments studied
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial compares two types of surgery—plates and screws versus hip replacement—for a specific type of hip fracture that is not shifted out of place. The goal is to see which option helps people recover better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a hip fracture that is not displaced (the bone ends are still lined up).
- Your fracture happened within the last 72 hours.
- You are being treated at a hospital that is part of this study.
- You are healthy enough to have either surgery type (plates/screws or hip replacement).
- You have already agreed to join the Hipsther trial.

This study compares two treatments for certain small, stable hip fractures in older adults: using hip screws versus replacing part or all of the hip. It may help find which option works best for healing and returning to movement.
This study compares two types of surgery for a specific hip fracture in older adults: hip replacement versus inserting screws to hold the bone in place. It aims to see which helps patients recover faster and get back to moving around sooner.
This trial compares two approaches to partial hip replacement after a broken hip (femoral neck fracture). The goal is to see which approach leads to better mobility and daily function after surgery.
This trial compares an intramedullary nail versus a hip replacement for unstable hip fractures. It may help guide which operation works best to restore walking and function after injury.
This trial tests whether a new surgical method helps hip fractures heal better in adults aged 18 to 64. It uses special X-rays to track how the bone moves over time.
This trial compares using three versus four screws to hold a femoral neck fracture (a break in the hip bone near the joint). It aims to see which method works better for healing and recovery after internal fixation surgery.
