The Rate of Contralateral Proximal Femoral Fracture Following Closed Reduction and Percutaneous Pinning Compared with Arthroplasty for the Treatment of Femoral Neck Fractures

Abstract

Patients undergoing closed reduction and percutaneous pinning as the initial treatment for a hip fracture had an increased risk of a subsequent contralateral hip fracture in comparison with those undergoing arthroplasty, after controlling for patient characteristics.
