The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery titled "Conversion to Arthroplasty After Internal Fixation of Nondisplaced Femoral Neck Fractures: Results from a Swedish Register Cohort of 5,428 Individuals Aged 60 and Older.

This episode reviews a large Swedish registry study on conversion to arthroplasty after internal fixation of nondisplaced femoral neck fractures in patients over 60. We break down the 10% conversion rate, early failure risks, and whether it’s time to rethink who really benefits from primary fixation versus arthroplasty.
