Supports cemented hemiarthroplasty in elderly femoral neck fracture patients; reinforces Level 1 evidence on functional and safety benefits.
Does cemented hemiarthroplasty improve postoperative hip function and reduce complications compared to uncemented hemiarthroplasty in patients over 70 years old with femoral neck fractures?
Cemented hemiarthroplasty provides better hip function, less residual pain, and fewer implant-related complications than uncemented hemiarthroplasty in elderly patients with femoral neck fractures, without increasing mortality or other complications.
