Abstract

Background: Treatment of neck of femur fractures in elderly has been controversial as restoration of pre-fracture function is the goal. Currently, choices available for an orthopaedic surgeon for treating these fractures in elderly are unipolar hemiarthroplasty, bipolar hemiarthroplasty and total hip arthroplasty. Cemented Bipolar Hemiarthroplasty appears to be the best option for fracture neck femur in the elderly population. This study was conducted with the aim to assess the functional outcome of fracture neck of femur treated with cemented bipolar hemiarthroplasty in elderly.

Material and method: Sixty patients of femoral neck fracture were operated by cemented hemiarthroplasty from June 2012 to June 2014 and their functional outcome were assessed on the basis of Harris Hip Score.

Results: There were 65 patients in this study, but on the follow up period of 2 years, 3 patients died (due to other medical reasons) and 2 patients did not revert back, so remaining 60 cases were included in the study. At 12 months of follow-up the average Harris Hip Score of 44 patients was 85.70 with a maximum score of 94.40 and a minimum score of 66.38.

Conclusion: We conclude that cemented bipolar prosthesis for treating fracture neck of femur in elderly gives good functional outcome.
