This editorial strongly advocates for evidence-based management of displaced femoral neck fractures in older patients, specifically the use of cemented stems for hemiarthroplasty and total hip arthroplasty for appropriate candidates.

Charles N. Cornell (2019) conducted an editorial in Displaced femoral neck fractures. Cemented stems and Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) vs. Uncemented stems and Hemiarthroplasty was evaluated. Evidence strongly supports the use of cemented stems over uncemented stems to reduce reoperation risk, and total hip arthroplasty over hemiarthroplasty for selected patients with displaced femoral neck fractures.
