Chinese expert consensus on the surgical treatment of femoral neck fracture by direct anterior approach hip arthroplasty for elderly patients (2025 edition).

ABSTRACT: Geriatric femoral neck fracture (FNF) represents a pressing global health challenge, imposing substantial burdens on medical resources while being associated with high complication rates and suboptimal clinical outcomes. In recent years, the direct anterior approach (DAA) has emerged as a mainstream surgical strategy for hip joint arthroplasty (HJA) in developed countries, owing to its minimally invasive nature, neuromuscular-sparing anatomical interval, preservation of soft tissue integrity, and alignment with enhanced recovery after surgery principles, collectively contributing to significant improvements in clinical outcomes of HJA for elderly patients with FNF.
