Descriptive study assesses functional outcomes post-bipolar hemiarthroplasty in neck of femur fractures, suggesting demographic factors may influence outcomes.
Key Points
Bipolar hemiarthroplasty leads to favorable functional outcomes in patients with neck of femur fractures.
47.4% of patients achieved excellent outcomes, while 31.4% had good functional outcomes based on the Harris Hip Score.
Descriptive study conducted with 156 patients assessed functional outcomes at 3-month follow-up after surgery.
Cemented fixation and the posterior surgical approach may provide modest functional advantages, though further research is needed.
