Abstract

Background: Uncemented bipolar hemiarthroplasty for displaced femoral neck fractures, may not have the same clinical outcomes as cemented ones. A hemiarthroplasty with uncemented and cemented bipolar prosthesis was compared for fracture neck of femur. Methods and Materials: This was a Longitudinal Ambispective observational study which included patients aged more, than 60 years admitted with displaced fracture neck of femur admitted. These patients were subsequently treated with cemented (group BA) or uncemented prosthesis (group B) for displaced fracture neck of femur since 2019, and then followed up for one year. Those patients aged less than 60 years, with history of polytrauma, pathological fracture, compound fracture were excluded from the study. Results: Mean Post-operative day in group A was 3 days while in group A was 4 days, with no significant statistical difference. We found that by 6 months, 10 in group B while 15 in group A showed good results, while at the end of 12 months, 6 in group A and 4 in group B showed good results. Overall, better HHS scores were found in patients with group A, although not statistically significant. Conclusion: The HHS at the end of 6 and 12 months was observed better in patients with uncemented prosthesis. With overall 56% patients showing fair results, which was statistically significant.
