| The primary outcome variable is the main measure assessed in this study, based on which the effect or lack of effect of the intervention is determined, and the sample size is calculated accordingly. In this study, the primary outcome variable is the Harris Hip Score (HHS), which evaluates the clinical status and functional outcome of patients following femoral neck fracture treatment at six months post-surgery. This quantitative variable reflects the patient’s pain level, hip joint function, and mobility. Specifically, the Harris Hip Score assesses pain, daily activity capability, and range of motion of the hip joint, resulting in a total score ranging from zero to one hundred, with higher scores indicating better recovery and function. Timepoint: The Harris Hip Score will be assessed at six months after surgery as the standard timepoint in this study. Additionally, patients will be followed for up to one year to monitor secondary outcomes such as complications and time to return to work. Method of measurement: The primary outcome variable will be measured using the Harris Hip Score (HHS), a physician-reported outcome measure. This scale includes questions regarding pain, ability to perform daily activities, walking capacity, and range of motion of the hip joint. The final score is derived from the sum of these components, ranging from zero to one hundred, where higher scores indicate better functional outcomes. The assessment will be conducted directly by healthcare professionals in the presence of the patient. | — |
