Why the study?

Cemented implants achieve good initial fixation in osteoporotic bone but may increase mortality and risk of bone marrow and fat embolization compared with uncemented implants.

Overview

Cemented hemiarthroplasty linked to fewer complications and better function scores; leaves open whether RCTs should shift practice in osteoporotic femoral neck fractures.

Structured PICO

Does cemented hemiarthroplasty improve functional outcomes and reduce complications compared to uncemented hemiarthroplasty in elderly patients with displaced femoral neck fractures?

Elderly patients with a displaced femoral neck fracture
I

C
Comparator
Uncemented hemiarthroplasty
O
Outcome

Cemented hemiarthroplasty provides better functional outcomes and fewer postoperative complications than uncemented hemiarthroplasty in elderly patients with displaced femoral neck fractures.
