Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
Leg length
The perpendicular distance between a horizontal line passing through the lower edge of the teardrop to the ipsilateral center of the femoral head
Secondary Outcome Measures
Femoral offset

Valgus/varus stem position
Stem position in relation to the femoral axis
Heterotopic ossification
Classified as type 1-4 according to Brooker classification
Canal fill ratio
Was evaluated at the following points; 2 cm above the lower trochanter, at the tip of the lower trochanter, 2 cm and 7 cm below the tip of lesser trochanter

Brief Summary
Uncemented Hemiarthroplasty, Radiological Features Comparing Lateral Versus Anterolateral Approach. Comparing leg length discrepancy, femoral offset, valgus/varus position of the stem. Also is there a difference in heterotopic ossification at 12 months.
Detailed Description
Between January 2014 and July 2017 a RCT was conducted at Sorlandet Hospital Kristiansand, Norway. The trial was approved by the regional ethics committee (2013/1853/REK) and registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier NCT02028468). This study is a follow-up on the same study population.
150 patients (70 to 90 years) with a displaced femoral neck fracture was randomized to be operated With either anterolateral og Direct lateral surgical approach. Investigators want to compare the radiological features of the femoral stem between the two Groups.
