PURPOSE To compare cemented versus cementless bipolar hemiarthroplasty in terms of operating time, blood loss, pain, functional outcome, morbidity, and mortality. METHODS Medical records of 207 patients aged ≥ 60 years who underwent bipolar hemiarthroplasty for displaced femoral neck fracture using a cemented (n=96) or cementless (n=111) prosthesis were reviewed. Postoperative thigh pain, amb...

BACKGROUND Femoral neck fractures in the elderly are frequent, represent a great health care problem, and have a significant impact on health insurance costs. Reconstruction options using hip arthroplasty include unipolar or bipolar hemiarthroplasty (HA), and total hip arthroplasty (THA). The purpose of this review is to discuss the indications, limitations, and pitfalls of each of these techni...

PURPOSE To compare and analyze clinical and radiologic outcomes of cemented versus cementless bipolar hemiarthroplasty for treatment of femur neck fractures. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 180 patients aged 65 years and over older who underwent bipolar hemiarthroplasty for treatment of displaced femur neck fractures (Garden stage III, IV) from March 2009 to February 2014 were included in th...

BACKGROUND Orthopaedic surgeons vary in their management of displaced intracapsular fractures of the hip in healthy older patients. The aim of this investigation was to determine the functional, clinical, and resource consequences of three different types of surgical treatment. METHODS The study was a multicenter randomized controlled trial. Reduction and fixation was compared with bipolar he...

Objective: Fractures of neck of femur are common fractures in the elderly. To keep up an imperative distance from the poor results of internal fixation and early ambulation of patients, hemiarthroplasty is performed. There is a lacking evidence to bolster the choice between unipolar or bipolar hemiarthroplasty, let alone the modularity of modern components. The objective of this study was to as...

BACKGROUND The old age population, including the very old aged (≥ 85 years), is rapidly increasing, and femur neck fracture from accidents is commonly seen in the elderly. Use of bone cement during bipolar hemiarthroplasty can cause bone cement implantation syndrome. METHODS This study was prospectively conducted on the elderly who were scheduled to undergo elective cemented bipolar hemiarthr...

BACKGROUND Bipolar hemiarthroplasty for unstable intertrochanteric fractures in elderly patients is a viable option that can prevent the complications of an open reduction, such as nonunion and metal failure. This study evaluated the clinicoradiological results of cementless bipolar hemiarthroplasty for unstable intertrochanteric fractures in elderly patients. METHODS Forty hips were followed...

Bipolar hemiarthroplasty is a useful treatment for displaced femoral neck fractures in elderly patients. Although uncommon, dislocation is problematic, particularly in older patients, and those with neurologic disorders are at an increased risk for this complication. Recently, a modified posterior approach to the hip intended to enhance hip joint stability by preserving the short external rotat...

BACKGROUND Bipolar hip hemiarthroplasty is used in the management of fractures of the proximal femur. The dual articulation is cited as advantageous in comparison to unipolar prostheses as it decreases acetabular erosion, has a lower dislocation rates and is easier to convert to a total hip arthroplasty (THA) should the need arise. However, these claims are debatable. Our study examines the rat...

Objectives: Cementless hemiarthroplasty is advised because it reduces the risk of morbidity and mortality in older individuals who use cement. For patients with high-risk clinical issues had femoral neck fractures, we assessed effectiveness cementless hemiarthroplasty. Materials Methods: The design this study was a cross sectional conducted DHQ Teaching Hospital Gujranwala. 48 patients, includi...
