Why the study?
The study was conducted to compare the effectiveness and safety of cemented versus uncemented hemiarthroplasty for displaced femoral neck fractures.
Does cemented hemiarthroplasty improve outcomes compared to uncemented hemiarthroplasty in older adults with displaced femoral neck fractures?
Comparison
Cemented versus uncemented hemiarthroplasty
Design
Meta-analysis of RCTs
Key result
Cemented hemiarthroplasty achieved better postoperative hip function at 12 months compared to uncemented hemiarthroplasty (OR 0.52; 95% CI 0.31-0.88; P=0.01).

Cemented hemiarthroplasty yields better hip function and fewer periprosthetic fractures; supports preference over uncemented in elderly patients with displaced femoral neck fractures.
Meta-Analysis
Does cemented hemiarthroplasty improve outcomes compared to uncemented hemiarthroplasty in older adults with displaced femoral neck fractures?
Odds Ratio: 0.52 (95% CI 0.31–0.88)
p-value: p=.01
Cemented hemiarthroplasty provides better postoperative hip function and lower fracture rates than uncemented hemiarthroplasty for displaced femoral neck fractures in older adults, despite a longer operation time.
Lin et al. (2019) conducted a meta-analysis in Displaced femoral neck fractures. Cemented hemiarthroplasty vs. Uncemented hemiarthroplasty was evaluated on Postoperative hip function at 12 months (OR 0.52, 95% CI 0.31-0.88, p=.01). Cemented hemiarthroplasty achieved better postoperative hip function at 12 months compared to uncemented hemiarthroplasty (OR 0.52; 95% CI 0.31-0.88; P=0.01).
