Why the study?
Does uncemented fixation increase the risk of aseptic revision compared to cemented fixation in patients with hip fracture treated with hemiarthroplasty?
Does uncemented fixation increase the risk of aseptic revision compared to cemented fixation in patients with hip fracture treated with hemiarthroplasty?
In patients undergoing hemiarthroplasty for hip fracture, uncemented fixation is associated with a significantly higher risk of aseptic revision compared to cemented fixation.
May support cemented fixation in hip fracture hemiarthroplasty; leaves open confirmation in randomized trials.
Among patients with hip fracture treated with hemiarthroplasty in a large US integrated health care system, uncemented fixation, compared with cemented fixation, was associated with a statistically significantly higher risk of aseptic revision. These findings suggest that US surgeons should consider cemented fixation in the hemiarthroplasty treatment of displaced femoral neck fractures in the absence of contraindications.
