Patient-Reported and Functional Outcomes After Nonoperative Management of Minimally Displaced Femoral Neck Fractures

Participants treated non-operatively for femoral neck fractures

Patient reported outcome measures and functional outcomes at 6 weeks, 4 months, 12 months and 24 months post injury

Participants treated operatively for femoral neck fractures

Patient reported outcomes and functional outcomes at 6 weeks, 4 months, 12 months, and 24 months post injury

Changes from baseline to 12 months. The modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS) is a measure of physical function scored from 0 to 100, where higher scores indicate better physical function and lower scores indicate worse physical function.

Failure rate of non-operative management defined as conversion to hemiarthroplasty, or total hip arthroplasty.

Changes from baseline to 24 months. The Oxford Hip Score is a measure of physical function scored on the 0 to 48 scale. Each of the 12 items scored 0 to 4, higher scores indicating better physical function and lower scores indicate worse physical function.

Changes from baseline to 24 months in EQ-5D-5L. EQ-5D-5L is a patient reported outcome measure to measure health related quality of life scored on a 5 to 25 scale where higher scores indicate worse health status and lower scores indicates better health status.

Changes from baseline to 24 months. The Barthel index is a measure of a participant's level of functional independence in basic activities of daily living. It is scored on a 0-100 scale, where higher score indicating higher level of independence and lower score indicating higher level of dependence.
