5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the anterolateral in comparison to posterolateral approach to the hip arthroplasty gives an equal or better clinical results.
Detailed Description
The purpose of this study is to compare the anterolateral- to posterolateral approaches in patients suffering a displaced femoral neck fracture operated with an hip arthroplasty. Our hypothesis is that the anterolateral approach gives equal or better clinical function, health related quality of life and less complication and reoperations.
