What is Artificial femoral head replacement linked with?
2Studies link Artificial femoral head replacement with 2 measures, most often postoperative complications (1 study) and time to full-weight bearing (1).
Postoperative complications

Postoperative complications
downin humans1
Artificial femoral head replacement is associated with postoperative complications in humans (4.3% versus 21.6% with PFNA and 26.4% with LCP).
“artificial femoral head replacement has the advantages of early time for full weight bearing, less bed rest time, and less complications.”
