Key result
Bipolar hemiarthroplasty for intracapsular femoral neck fractures resulted in a mean Harris hip score of 71.0 at a minimum of 5 years follow-up.
Why the study?
To evaluate the functional outcome of bipolar hemiarthroplasty in patients with intracapsular femoral neck fractures, determine factors affecting outcome, and evaluate if it meets desired results.

Does bipolar hemiarthroplasty improve functional outcomes in patients with intra capsular femoral neck fractures?
Bipolar hemiarthroplasty for femoral neck fractures yields satisfactory long-term functional outcomes in the majority of patients, though a significant proportion experience poor results.
El-Naby et al. (2020) conducted a cohort in intra capsular femoral neck fractures (n=20). Bipolar hemiarthroplasty was evaluated on Harris hip score. Bipolar hemiarthroplasty for intracapsular femoral neck fractures resulted in a mean Harris hip score of 71.0 at a minimum of 5 years follow-up.
