Abstract

The occurrence of fracture neck of the femur and its associated consequences contribute to substantial morbidity and death rates. Unipolar and bipolar hemiarthroplasty procedures have been found to facilitate early patient mobilization and extend their productive lifespan. Materials and methods: This study comprised 10 individuals who had intracapsular fractures in the neck of the femur. The functional outcome of the patients was assessed using the Harris Hip score. Patients had radiological evaluation as well. The present study was carried out in the Department of Orthopedics, Kakatiya Medical College/ MGM hospital, located in Warangal, Telangana, India, over the period from February 2022 to January 2023. Results: The preoperative Harris hip scores for unipolar hemiarthroplasty and bipolar hemiarthroplasty were 36.2 and 39.1, respectively. These scores climbed to 81.8 and 85.05 for unipolar and bipolar hemiarthroplasty, respectively. The p-value for these differences was 0.561. The findings of our study indicate that the bipolar group achieved an exceptional result of 35%, whereas the unipolar Hemiarthroplasty group achieved an excellent result of 15%. Conclusion: Our study findings indicate that uncemented bipolar hemiarthroplasty yielded superior outcomes in comparison to uncemented unipolar hemiarthroplasty. In general, bipolar hemiarthroplasty demonstrated superior performance in comparison to unipolar hemiarthroplasty
