What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. change of head-shaft angle at 12months from 6months in two groups

    Measured: 12months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. change of Offset at 12months from 6months in two groups

    Measured: 12 months

  2. Constant-Murly scores at 3 months, 12 months and last follow-up

    Measured: 3 months,12 months,last follow-up (last follow-up means recent evaluation before database lock, it is more than 12months )

  3. change of the distance between the screw tip and the subchondral surface(TSD) at 12months from 6months in two groups

    Measured: 12 months
