Hip replacement vs. screws: which gets seniors back on their feet faster?
NCT ID NCT07244211
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study compares two common surgeries for a certain type of hip fracture in adults aged 60 and older: hip replacement (arthroplasty) versus internal fixation (using screws or pins). The goal is to see which approach helps people survive, walk independently, and spend more time out of the hospital in the first year after surgery. The trial will enroll 600 participants across multiple centers.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Hip arthroplasty (replacement) or internal fixation surgery
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that hip replacement is better than internal fixation for helping older adults recover faster, walk again, and stay out of the hospital after a hip fracture.
What could go wrong
This is a pragmatic trial comparing two standard surgeries, so no breakthrough is expected. Results may vary by patient health, and recovery depends on many factors beyond the procedure.
