Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main study parameters/endpoints - Duration of surgery is defined as skin to skin surgical time, measured in minutes. - Complications are divided in major and minor complications. These are described in section 6 and appendix I. - Functional outcome is measured by the Time-Up-and Go (TUG) score and the Groningen Activity Restriction Scale (GARS). - Postoperative mid thigh pain measured by a 4 -point ordinal scale (non/mild/ moderate/ severe) score. Mid thigh pain is defined as pain explicit in the front and mid part of the femur. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary Objective(s): - Living situation at final follow up, measured in percentage of pre-fracture situation. An ordinal scale will be used. - Standard radiological evaluation of hemiarthroplasty and cement positioning and adequate size of the hemiarthroplasty measured on plain AP and axial X-rays of the operated hip. Adequate AP positioning is defined as less than 10 degrees varus or valgus. Adequate axial positioning is defined as the same as or less than 15 degrees anteversion, 0 degrees retroversion. | — |
