Key result
Cemented bipolar hemiarthroplasty provided satisfactory functional outcomes in elderly patients with femoral neck fractures, yielding a mean Harris Hip Score of 88.25 at 6 months.
Why the study?
Femoral neck fractures are common in patients above 60 years of age, prompting this assessment of the functional outcome of bipolar hemiarthroplasty.
Population
30 patients above 60 years of age with intra-capsular fracture neck of femur
Comparison
Cemented bipolar hemiarthroplasty
Follow-up
Minimum period of 6 months

Cemented bipolar hemiarthroplasty provides satisfactory functional outcomes and is a safe option for elderly patients with femoral neck fractures.
Chhabra et al. (2020) conducted an observational in Intra-capsular fracture neck of femur (n=30). Cemented bipolar hemiarthroplasty was evaluated on Modified Harris Hip Score at 6 months. Cemented bipolar hemiarthroplasty provided satisfactory functional outcomes in elderly patients with femoral neck fractures, yielding a mean Harris Hip Score of 88.25 at 6 months.
