A) The open reduction and internal fixation is the surgical preference to repair a fractured hip for older adult clients who are active and will be able to use crutches with partial weight bearing. A total hip replacement is done only when severe arthritis is present. Austin-Moore prosthesis is preferred for the less active older adult client. Open reduction and external fixation is not a surgical option for a fractured hip.
