The current study suggests that a smaller LCEA and FO, a greater TA, and neurological impairment could be related to a higher risk of hip hemiarthroplasty dislocation after femoral neck fracture in the elderly. We consider that preoperative templating could be helpful in identifying abnormal parameters and carefully planning surgery could lead to changes in treatment strategy, such as choosing a dual-mobility total hip arthroplasty.
