Overview

This prospective study compares cement-augmented and non-augmented fixation methods, revealing key differences in outcomes.

Key Points

  • The mean operative time was significantly longer for cement-augmented fixation compared to non-augmented fixation.
  • Functional outcomes evaluated with Harris Hip Score showed similar results across both groups over time.
  • Radiological analyses indicated significant differences in screw/blade sliding and varus deviation between the two fixation methods.
  • Complications were minimal and comparable in both groups, indicating a safe approach for either fixation method.
