AceFIT – a study comparing three methods of treatment of acetabular fractures (a type of hip fracture) in older patients; surgical fixation versus surgical fixation and hip replacement versus non-surgical treatment

This UK study looks at the best way to treat a broken hip socket in people aged 60 and older. It compares three standard treatments: resting without surgery, fixing the bone with metal plates, or fixing the bone and replacing the hip joint at the same time.
