Implication

Retrospective study examines outcomes of bipolar hemiarthroplasty in older patients with femoral neck fractures, suggesting effective treatment in low-resource settings.

Key Points

This research evaluates the effectiveness of bipolar hemiarthroplasty for treating displaced femoral neck fractures in older adults.
Retrospective study conducted at three tertiary health hospitals in Nigeria from 2010 to 2024.
Included patients aged 60 or older who underwent bipolar hemiarthroplasty with at least 2 years of follow-up.
Outcome measures included surgical site infection, length of hospital stay, and functional outcomes assessed using the Harris Hip score.
Among 73 patients, surgical site infection occurred in 19.2% (14 patients).
Functional outcomes were good to excellent in 63% (46 patients) based on the Harris Hip score.
Statistically significant differences were found between age group and ambulatory status (p=0.001) and between length of hospital stay and surgical site infection (p=0.001).
