Overview

Uncemented bipolar hemiarthroplasty yields good short-term function in selected elderly patients; leaves open comparative efficacy versus cemented options in broader populations.

Structured PICO

Does uncemented bipolar hemiarthroplasty improve functional outcomes in elderly patients with displaced fracture neck of femur?

P
Population
25 elderly patients (mean age 67.5 years, 64% female) with displaced fracture neck of femur and fair bone quality underwent uncemented bipolar hemiarthroplasty and were followed for a minimum of 12 months.
I
Intervention
Uncemented bipolar hemiarthroplasty
O
Outcome
Functional outcomes evaluated using the Harris Hip Scorepatient reported

Uncemented bipolar hemiarthroplasty provides good functional outcomes with minimal complications for carefully selected elderly patients with displaced intra-capsular femoral neck fractures.

Limitations

  • Small sample size
  • Short follow-up period
  • Lack of a control or comparison group

Uncemented bipolar hemiarthroplasty was evaluated on Excellent or good functional outcome based on Harris Hip Score at 12 months. Uncemented bipolar hemiarthroplasty resulted in 88% excellent to good functional outcomes based on the Harris Hip Score at 12 months in elderly patients with displaced fracture neck of femur.
