Choice between cemented and biological prostheses in treatment of senile femoral neck fracture / 中华创伤骨科杂志

ABSTRACT

Hip arthroplasty is one of the most effective surgical operations to treat femoral neck fracture in the elderly.After surgery,patients can do exercises out of bed earlier,avoiding such complications as bedsore and deep vein thrombosis due to long-term lying in bed.However,there is still a great controversy concerning the clinical efficacy and complication rates of cemented and uncemented prostheses in the arthroplasty.It is a clinical problem at present how to choose the most appropriate prosthesis for different patients.This article addresses this problem in the elderly population by reviewing the literature in the aspects of design characteristics,clinical outcomes and complications between cemented and uncemented prostheses.
