Retrospective study reveals low revision surgery rates and assesses mortality in elderly with femoral neck fractures, highlighting the safety of hip hemiarthroplasty.
Key Points
Cemented hip hemiarthroplasty is a safe method for treating femoral neck fractures in elderly patients.
Out of 1001 patients, only 3.9% required revision surgery within four years post-operation.
Age over 80 and ASA score III or IV were strong predictors of higher mortality within four years.
Timing and surgical approach did not significantly influence revision rates or outcomes.
