This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing two different surgical approaches to treat a specific type of hip fracture in older adults. Some participants will have their fracture repaired using screws (called internal fixation), while others will receive a hip replacement (called hip arthroplasty). The study wants to understand which approach helps people regain better movement and causes less pain over the first year after surgery.
Hip fractures are common in older adults and can seriously affect their ability to move around and stay independent. Doctors aren't certain which surgical approach works better for this particular type of fracture, so this research will help guide treatment decisions in the future.

You will undergo surgery to treat your hip fracture using one of the two surgical methods (you'll be randomly assigned to one). After surgery, you'll receive follow-up phone calls and mail surveys at 4 months and 12 months asking about your pain level and how well you're able to move around and do daily activities. The entire follow-up period lasts about one year.
