Cemented versus cementless hemiarthroplasty for intertrochanteric femur fractures in the elderly

Abstract

To compare the outcomes of the treatment of unstable intertrochanteric fractures in elderly patients who underwent cemented and cementless bipolar hemiarthroplasty. 65 patients who had AO type 31-A1 and 31-A2 fractures were divided into two groups; group 1 included 30 patients who underwent cemented hemiarthroplasty, and group 2 included 35 patients who underwent cementless hemiarthroplasty. Demographic findings, intraoperative blood loss, operation duration, hospital stay duration, blood transfusion amount, intraoperative and postoperative complications, preoperative and postoperative serum hemoglobin values, and new mobilization scores (NMS), Harris Hip Score (HHS), Likert pain scales were all assessed. Mean age of 39 (40%) female and 26 (60%) male patients was 80.86 years. The mean operation duration was 69.66 (SD 7.53) minutes for group 1 and 60.00 (SD 8.04) for group 2 and statistically different (p [Med-Science 2021; 10(3.000): 982-6]
