PURPOSE To compare patients with or without intra-operative fracture during cementless bipolar hemiarthroplasty. METHODS Records of 76 men and 202 women who underwent cementless bipolar hemiarthroplasty for femoral neck fractures were reviewed. Patients with and without intra-operative fractures and patients with different types of intra-operative fractures were compared. RESULTS Two men an...

Background The failure scenario of total hip arthroplasty (THA) in younger patients (< 65 years) is dependent upon the fixation and wear of the acetabular component. In select cases, where endoprosthetic replacement of the femoral head is unavoidable for limb salvage or functional recovery, hemiarthroplasty is a viable alternative. The purpose of this study was to evaluate hemiarthroplasty as a...

Introduction: With various options available like unipolar, bipolar hemiarthroplasty or total hip arthroplasty, it would be wise to choose hemiarthroplasty as it is a procedure with a short operating time with lesser morbidity for elderly patients with displaced intra-capsular neck femur fractures .This study is aimed primarily at comparing the functional results obtained after a hemiarthroplas...

Between 2002 and 2007, fifty elderly patients with displaced femoral neck fractures were treated with hip replacement at Emergency Hospital, Mansoura University. Patients were randomly selected, 25 patients had either cemented or cementless bipolar prosthesis, and another 25 patients had either cemented or cementless fixed-head prosthesis. There were 34 women and 16 men with an average age of 6...

UNLABELLED This review summarises the evidence for the treatment of displaced fractures of the femoral neck in elderly patients. Results from randomised clinical trials and national register studies are presented when available. The advantages of arthroplasty compared with internal fixation are supported by several studies. A number of studies contribute to the discussions of total hip arthropl...

OBJECTIVE To compare the functional results after displaced fractures of the femoral neck treated with internal fixation or hemiarthroplasty. DESIGN Randomised trial with blinding of assessments of functional results. SETTING University hospital. PARTICIPANTS 222 patients; 165 (74%) women, mean age 83 years. Inclusion criteria were age above 60, ability to walk before the fracture, and no...

UNLABELLED The introduction of multihole mega cup has proposed innovative answers in the management of acetabular impediments that ensued from the use of bipolar hemiarthroplasty. This study bestows a prospective analysis of the outcome of conversion surgery from bipolar hemiarthroplasty to total hip replacement in patients with acetabular complications.Forty-two patients, 22 men and 20 women, ...
