Background Femoral neck fracture is the most common injury in elderly population. Prevention of complications by early surgery and mobilization in these patients is of prime importance. Bipolar hemi-arthroplasty (BHA) and Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) are the treatment options available for elderly patients with displaced femoral neck fractures. In our study, we analysed the outcomes following Bipolar Hemi-arthroplasty (BHA) in comparison to Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA).
