Factors | Specific content |
Patient-related factors | Age, sex, comorbidities, fracture pattern and comminution, intactness of lateral wall, bone quality, osteoporosis |
Surgery-related factors | Reduction quality of the fracture, placement and selection of fixation devices, tip-apex distance |
Postoperative management | Protective hip joint functional rehabilitation and anti-osteoporosis treatment |
Operative time | Blood loss | Postoperative bedridden time | Re-operative rate | Long-term effect | Applicability preference | |
Nailing fixation | Shorter | Less | Longer | Comparable | Comparable or superior | Younger patients with lower-grade fracture pattern, good bone quality, fewer comorbidities, higher functional demands, and longer life expectancy |
Primary arthroplasty | Longer | More | Shorter | Comparable | Comparable | Elderly patients with higher-grade fracture pattern, poor bone quality, more comorbidities, lower functional demands, and shorter life expectancy |
