Study of the outcomes of Bipolar Hemiarthroplasty in Treatment of the Femoral Neck Fracture

Objectives: Hip fracture in the elderly creates a lot of problems for the health system and has a high mortality rate. Depending on the age, background disease and quality of the bones, conservative treatments, fixation of the fractures treatment (ORIF), unipolar and bipolar hemiarthroplasty and total hip arthroplasty are among various treatment options that can be considering. Subjects and Methods: In this study, 61 patients with femoral neck fracture, who were under treatment by bipolar arthroplasty, were examined retrospectively for 23 months. Results: The average Harris Hip Score of the patients was 80 and 91% of them had little or no pain. Conclusions: Considering the conditions of bipolar prosthesis with adjustable stem diameter, length of neck and the size of its head. Furthermore, the possibility of changing it into THA prosthesis. In addition, knowing that the two main consequences of Moore and Thompsonʹs prosthesis, are respectively acetabullar erosion and protrusion, which have lower rate in bipolar prosthesis. The findings of this study suggest that the use of this prosthesis is more preferable in treatment of femoral fractures in the elderly.
