Key result
Cemented bipolar hemiarthroplasty resulted in satisfactory functional outcomes in elderly patients with femoral neck fractures, achieving a mean Harris Hip Score of 88.25 at 6 months.
Why the study?
Femoral neck fractures occur most commonly in elderly females and in patients over 60 years of age, motivating an assessment of functional outcomes with bipolar hemiarthroplasty.

Does cemented bipolar hemiarthroplasty improve functional outcomes in elderly patients with intra-capsular fracture neck of femur?
Cemented bipolar hemiarthroplasty provides satisfactory functional outcomes and is a safe option for treating intra-capsular fracture neck of femur in elderly patients with comorbidities.
Singh 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 resulted in satisfactory functional outcomes in elderly patients with femoral neck fractures, achieving a mean Harris Hip Score of 88.25 at 6 months.
