Minimum 15-year follow-up of an RCT (n=143 patients, 146 hips) comparing closed reduction with two cannulated screws versus cemented total hip replacement for displaced femoral neck fractures in patients aged 75+ (mean age 84). Asks whether the short-term advantage of arthroplasty holds over the long term and whether cognitive status modifies the treatment effect.
