Why the study?
Does cemented total hip arthroplasty worsen pulmonary hemodynamics and right ventricular function compared to uncemented arthroplasty in patients with isolated femoral neck fracture?
Population
22 patients with isolated femoral neck fracture undergoing total hip arthroplasty
Comparison
Cemented total hip arthroplasty vs Uncemented total hip arthroplasty
Design
RCT, randomized
Follow-up
intraoperative (up to skin closure)

Cemented fixation may heighten right ventricular strain risk in hip fracture patients; challenges routine cemented preference and extends RCT hemodynamic comparisons.
Does cemented total hip arthroplasty worsen pulmonary hemodynamics and right ventricular function compared to uncemented arthroplasty in patients with isolated femoral neck fracture?
Cemented total hip arthroplasty significantly increases pulmonary vascular resistance and pulmonary artery pressures compared to uncemented arthroplasty, potentially impairing right ventricular function.
