BACKGROUND It is unclear whether cemented or uncemented hemiarthroplasty is the best treatment option in elderly patients with displaced femoral neck fractures. Previous randomized trials comparing cemented and uncemented hemiarthroplasty have conflicting results. We conducted a randomized controlled trial to compare cemented and uncemented hemiarthroplasty. METHODS This multicenter parallel-...

BACKGROUND Resurfacing of the humeral head has gained interest as an alternative to traditional hemiarthroplasty because it preserves bone stock and respects the native geometry of the glenohumeral articulation. The purpose of this study was to compare the biomechanics of the intact glenohumeral joint with those following humeral head resurfacing and following hemiarthroplasty. METHODS Seven ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The appropriate fixation method for hemiarthroplasty of the hip as it relates to implant survivorship and patient mortality is a matter of ongoing debate. We examined the influence of fixation method on revision rate and mortality. METHODS We analyzed approximately 25,000 hemiarthroplasty cases from the AOA National Joint Replacement Registry. Deaths at 1 day, 1 week, 1...

This study described surgical treatment patterns for proximal humerus fractures among elderly patients, focusing on reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA), and evaluated how the type of fixation affects inpatient factors (cost, length of stay), transfusion rates, and patient disposition (home vs skilled nursing facility). With Nationwide Inpatient Sample data from 2011 to 2013, the authors i...

This retrospective study was undertaken to analyze perioperative parameters, functional outcomes and complications of cemented versus uncemented bipolar hemiarthroplasty in elderly patients presenting with displaced intracapsular femoral neck fracture. The authors reviewed 17 patients that underwent cemented bipolar hemiarthroplasty and 21 patients that underwent uncemented bipolar hemiarthropl...

Objectives: Cementless hemiarthroplasty is advised because it reduces the risk of morbidity and mortality in older individuals who use cement. For patients with high-risk clinical issues had femoral neck fractures, we assessed effectiveness cementless hemiarthroplasty. Materials Methods: The design this study was a cross sectional conducted DHQ Teaching Hospital Gujranwala. 48 patients, includi...

This study aims to propose latitude cut deviation for differentiating hip arthroplasty types and evaluate its diagnostic utility in distinguishing total (THA) from hemiarthroplasty using radiography. After assessing various cup designs top manufacturers THA hemiarthroplasty, we conducted a retrospective on 40 patients (20 20 hemiarthroplasty). Three readers independently evaluated the radiograp...

INTRODUCTION Femoral perforation after hemiarthroplasty is a known complication. In cases with cemented hemiarthroplasty the recommendation is to leave the implant till it requires revision while for uncemented hemiarthroplasty early revision is recommended. CASE REPORT We present a case of perforation of lateral femoral cortex after Autin Moore hemiarthroplasty.. The patient reported a swell...

Few data are available to compare the outcomes of first metatarsophalangeal joint (MTPJ) hemiarthroplasty and arthrodesis. We included 46 patients who had undergone BioPro(®) first MTPJ hemiarthroplasty and 132 who had undergone arthrodesis, with a minimum follow-up duration of 12 months. The primary outcome was patient satisfaction, which was determined using binominal questions. The Foot and ...

Postoperative blood recovery in eighty elderly patients (11 male, 69 female) treated for femoral neck fracture was prospectively studied. Twenty-eight patients underwent hemiarthroplasty for intracapusular fracture and 52 underwent Dynamic Hip Screw fixation for extracapsular femoral neck fracture. The mean blood drainage in the postoperative period and the mean drop in haemoglobin level was hi...
