Implication

Retrospective study compares surgical outcomes of proximal femoral replacement and hemiarthroplasty, indicating significant differences in complications and recovery time.

Key Points

Hemiarthroplasty showed lower estimated blood loss compared to proximal femoral replacement, indicating a safer option.
Patients in group A experienced longer surgical times and more postoperative complications, highlighting potential risks.
Reconstruction using hemiarthroplasty resulted in shorter rehabilitation times and quicker discharges from the hospital.
Intensive care unit transfers were more common in the proximal femoral replacement group, thus suggesting a need for careful patient selection.
