  1. Table 3. Harris hip scores at the 6-month follow-up were significantly higher in the HA group (HA group, 86.80 points; range, 81.9–90.23 points vs PFNA group, 83.48 points; range, 75.13–88.23; P = 0.024, Wilcoxon W = 1536.5). The scores for subitems, including pain (P = 0.045; Wilcoxon W = 1468.5), walking support (P = 0.026; Wilcoxon W = 1514.0), walking distance (P = 0.004; Wilcoxon W = 1589.5), stairs (P = 0.027; Wilcoxon W = 1496.0), and hip joint mobility (P = 0.005; Wilcoxon W = 1612.0), were significantly better in the HA group than in the PFNA group. Scores for other subitems, including limp, putting on shoes and socks, sitting time, entering public transportation, and deformity, were similar and similarly distributed in both groups. There was no significant difference in Harris grading. Abbreviations: HA Hemiarthroplasty, PFNA Proximal femoral nail antirotation
