Comparing outcomes of fractured neck of femur patients treated with Thompsons hemiarthroplasty versus Exeter Trauma Stem

INTERVENTION: Patients diagnosed with a fractured neck of the femur will be randomised into one of two groups. Group 1 will be treated with Thompsons hemiarthroplasty and group 2 with Exeter Trauma stem. They will undergo the following: 1. Non Clinical: 1.1. Pre‐operative recruitment, consent and pre‐operative questionnaires 1.2. Post‐operative functional outcome questionnaire at 1 month, 3 months, and 1 year 2. Clinical: 2.1. Hip Operation (to receive hip hemiarthoplasty) 2.2. Post‐operative radiographs (6 weeks, 3 months and 1 year) 2.3. Clinical assessment (6 weeks, 3 months, and 1 year) CONDITION: Trauma & Orthopaedics ‐ Fractured neck of femur ; Injury, Occupational Diseases, Poisoning ; Fracture of neck of femur PRIMARY OUTCOME: Patient related outcome measures (including EQ‐5D, SF‐36 and Oxford scores) at pre‐operation and post operation SECONDARY OUTCOME: 1. Complications post surgery; 2. Radiographic appearance of hip implants (post surgery); 3. Patient satisfaction (post surgery) INCLUSION CRITERIA: 1. Patients with intra‐capsular fractured neck of femur 2. Patients fit enough for surgery 3. Patients able to give informed consent, or an advocate (unpaid carer/person interested in patient's welfare) is available to grant consent on behalf of the patient 4. Patients > 65 years of age
