First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 225 older adults with hip fractures to compare two surgical methods: one through the side of the hip and one through the back. The goal was to see which approach leads to fewer dislocations or bone breaks during surgery. Results help surgeons choose the safest technique for each patient.
