Does cemented bipolar hemiarthroplasty improve functional outcomes in elderly patients with unstable intertrochanteric fractures?
Cemented bipolar hemiarthroplasty offers a lasting solution with good functional outcomes for elderly patients with unstable intertrochanteric fractures.
NRaghavendra Beshaj (2014) conducted an observational in Unstable intertrochanteric fracture (n=20). Cemented bipolar hemiarthroplasty was evaluated on Functional results graded as per Harris Hip Scoring System. Cemented bipolar hemiarthroplasty for unstable intertrochanteric fractures in elderly patients yielded a mean Harris Hip Score of 78.2 at 6 months and 83.25 at 24 months.
