Objective To compare the functional outcomes between cemented and uncemented hemiarthroplasty in the treatment of the elderly with femoral neck fractures. Methods A total of 221 patients older than 65 years with acute femoral neck fractures treated with hemiarthroplasty in the past 3 years were retrospectively studied. They were divided into groups according to the application of cemented or uncemented prosthesis. The follow-up was performed at 3, 6, and 12 months after the operation. The operation time, bleeding, complications, time to walk after surgery, and Harris hip score (HHS) were determined and compared between the groups. Results There were differences in mean operation time, intraoperative complications, and time to walk, but no differences in bleeding, complications, and HHS scores between the two groups. Conclusion Both prostheses may well use in the treatment of femoral neck fractures. Attention should be paid in the perioperative complications. |
