Comparative study on functional outcome of unstable intertrochanteric fractures treated with bipolar hemiarthroplasty and dynamic hip screw fixation in elderly population

Introduction: The surgical stabilisation of elderly proximal femur fractures has improved thanks to recent developments. In many circumstances, the internal fixation fails. Inadequate fixing fracture, fracture pattern, and poor quality bone are all contributing causes failures. Elderly patients who have Bipolar Hemiarthroplasty (BHA) for unstable inter trochanteric compared those undergo Dynamic Hip Screw (DHS) fixation.Methods: Department Orthopaedics conducted a study on this topic. 30 Patients with Unstable Intertrochanteric Fractures were divided into two groups 12-month period time: group A (Bipolar Prosthesis) in 16 cases, while B 14 cases.Results: “Evaluation was done using Harris hip score during their follow up period. A, at three, six, twelve months 81.9, 76.7, 83.4 respectively. Similarly, B, 72.80, 67.03, 73.71 respectively.Conclusions: may be an effective treatment option older osteoporotic fractures. Early mobilisation reduces risk problems such as pressure sores pulmonary issues that can arise from prolonged immobilisation, also leads better functional outcomes Group than (DHS).
