Summary

This study looks at two common surgeries for hip fractures in people aged 60 and older: one uses plates and screws to fix the bone, and the other replaces the hip joint. The goal is to see which approach leads to less pain and better movement. About 104 participants will be followed for up to two years after surgery.
