Key result
Cemented and uncemented hemiarthroplasty resulted in comparable functional outcomes, morbidity, and mortality at 1 year for patients with displaced femoral neck fractures.
Why the study?
The study was conducted to prospectively compare the functional outcome associated with cemented versus uncemented hemiarthroplasty of the hip in patients with displaced femoral neck fractures.
Does cemented hemiarthroplasty improve functional outcomes compared to uncemented hemiarthroplasty in patients older than 55 years with displaced femoral neck fractures?

Does cemented hemiarthroplasty improve functional outcomes compared to uncemented hemiarthroplasty in patients older than 55 years with displaced femoral neck fractures?
Cemented and uncemented hemiarthroplasty for displaced femoral neck fractures in elderly patients provide comparable functional outcomes and complication rates at 1 year.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Supports surgeon discretion in fixation choice for displaced femoral neck fractures; adds RCT confirmation to existing evidence of 1-year equivalence.
Sanjeev Kumar Gupta (2022) conducted an RCT in Displaced femoral neck fractures (n=44). Cemented hemiarthroplasty vs. Uncemented hemiarthroplasty was evaluated on Functional outcomes measured by Harris Hip Score at 1 year. Cemented and uncemented hemiarthroplasty resulted in comparable functional outcomes, morbidity, and mortality at 1 year for patients with displaced femoral neck fractures.
