A recent study published in the Journal of American Medical Association suggests that posterolateral approach (PLA) for cemented hemiarthroplasty in older adults with acute femoral neck fractures was closely associated with significantly more dislocations and reoperations than direct lateral approach (DLA).
This multicenter trial conducted across 14 medical facilities in the Netherlands encompassed both randomized clinical trial (RCT) and natural experiment (NE) and focused on the PLA and DLA to uncover insights crucial for improving hip fracture care.
