Why the study?
This study aimed to analyze and compare perioperative outcomes between cemented and uncemented hemiarthroplasty in elderly patients with displaced femoral neck fractures.
Does uncemented hemiarthroplasty compared to cemented hemiarthroplasty improve perioperative outcomes in elderly patients with displaced femoral neck fractures?
Population
27390 cemented and 29406 uncemented hemiarthroplasty patients with displaced femoral neck fractures
Comparison
Uncemented vs cemented hemiarthroplasty
Design
Retrospective database analysis of the National Inpatient Sample
Key result
Uncemented hemiarthroplasty for displaced femoral neck fractures was associated with higher surgical complications like prosthetic dislocation (OR 3.348) but lower mortality (OR 0.567).

In elderly patients with displaced femoral neck fractures, uncemented hemiarthroplasty is associated with higher surgical complications but lower medical complications and mortality compared to cemented fixation.
Purudappa et al. (2023) conducted a cohort in Displaced femoral neck fractures (n=56,796). Uncemented hemiarthroplasty vs. Cemented hemiarthroplasty was evaluated on Prosthetic dislocation (OR 3.348, p=<0.001). Uncemented hemiarthroplasty for displaced femoral neck fractures was associated with higher surgical complications like prosthetic dislocation (OR 3.348) but lower mortality (OR 0.567).
