Cox regression curves for implant survival after different fracture types and operation methods adjusted for age groups, gender, and ASA class. A. All fractures/all operations methods (RR =1.2 (1.1–1.4), p = 0.001). B. Displaced femoral neck fractures/all operation methods (RR =1.7 (1.4–2.1), p < 0.001). C.
