Hip hemiarthroplasty is a common treatment for femoral neck fracture. However, the acetabular cartilage may degenerate after hemiarthroplasty leading to postoperative failure and the need for revision surgery. The clearance between the acetabular cartilage and head of the prosthesis is one of the potential reasons for this failure. In this study, the influence of joint clearance on the biomecha...

The purpose of this single-center, randomized, controlled trial was to report on the 2-year outcomes of proximal humerus fractures in elderly patients treated with open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) with either a locking plate or shoulder hemiarthroplasty. Thirty-two patients (87% women) with a mean age of 71.9 years (range, 67-86 years) were treated with ORIF with either a locking pla...

Aim: Surgical outcomes of patients, who had Dorr type B femoral morphology, were operated on with bipolar hemiarthroplasty for hip fracture compared. Materials And Methods: This retrospective study included 352 patients at least five years follow-up. The divided into two groups: cementless (Group 1; n = 136) and cemented 2; 216). focused the following parameters: admission cost, type, gender, n...

OBJECTIVE To compare the functional results after displaced fractures of the femoral neck treated with internal fixation or hemiarthroplasty. DESIGN Randomised trial with blinding of assessments of functional results. SETTING University hospital. PARTICIPANTS 222 patients; 165 (74%) women, mean age 83 years. Inclusion criteria were age above 60, ability to walk before the fracture, and no...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to compare the outcomes of osteosynthesis using compression hip screw fixation versus bipolar hemiarthroplasty in AO type A2 intertrochanteric fractures. MATERIALS AND METHODS From March 2003 to December 2009, 89 patients were included in this study. They were treated using compression hip screws (43 cases) or bipolar hemiarthroplasty (46 cases). The mean...

OBJECTIVE This study compared functional outcomes and preoperative between cemented and uncemented bipolar hemiarthroplasty in patients older than 65 years with subcapital displaced femoral neck fracture. METHODS Fifty one patients with displaced femoral neck fracture were enrolled in this study. Twenty nine patients underwent uncemented bipolar hemiarthroplasty and 22 underwent cemented bipo...

Background:  Patients undergoing cemented hip hemiarthroplasty may develop bone cement implantation syndrome (BCIS) which is a leading cause of intraoperative complications. The purpose of this study was to evaluate cardiovascular changes during cemented hip hemiarthroplasty in elderly patients.   Methods:  Cemented hip hemiarthroplasty was performed on 72 patients with femoral neck fracture. A...

Hip fractures are common and have come to represent an increasing burden of disease. As a result, it is critical that cost-effective and evidence-based treatments be used to treat hip fractures. However, with regard to hemiarthroplasty vs total hip arthroplasty (THA), the optimal treatment of displaced femoral neck fractures in elderly patients remains controversial. The purpose of this study w...

PURPOSE To compare cemented versus cementless bipolar hemiarthroplasty in terms of operating time, blood loss, pain, functional outcome, morbidity, and mortality. METHODS Medical records of 207 patients aged ≥ 60 years who underwent bipolar hemiarthroplasty for displaced femoral neck fracture using a cemented (n=96) or cementless (n=111) prosthesis were reviewed. Postoperative thigh pain, amb...

OBJECTIVES The objective of this study was to assess all evidence comparing the Thompson monoblock hemiarthroplasty with modular unipolar implants for patients requiring hemiarthroplasty of the hip with respect to mortality and complications. METHODS A literature search was performed to identify all relevant literature. The population consisted of patients undergoing hemiarthroplasty of the h...
