Clinical effects of different center of rotation reconstructions in total hip arthroplasty after femoral neck fractures: a cohort study including a follow-up analysis on patient ’s mobility and daily living ability

ConclusionsCOR superior displacement, COR medialization, and the combination of both (superomedialization, Spearmanp =  <  0.001) lead to reduced mobility while inferior displacement showed increased pain. According to our results, we recommend an exact vertical COR restoration, while horizontal medial displacement needs to be avoided.Level of evidenceIII.
