Mid-term follow-up analysis of bone cement or biotype hemiarthroplasty for the femoral neck fracture in the elderly patients / 中国综合临床

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the mid-term efficacy and complications of bone cement or biotype hemiarthroplasty for the femoral neck fracture in the elderly patients.Methods From January 2011 to January 2014,sixty-seven elderly patients (67 hips) with femoral neck fracture were treated with hemiarthroplasty.All patients were treated with bipolar femoral head prosthesis,and the prosthesis included into bone cement and biologic type,according to the fixation of the femoral stem.The 3 year postoperative Harris score and surgeryrelated complications (joint dislocation,prosthesis loosening,acetabular subsidence,and mortality) were evaluated.Results All patients were followed up for 3 years.The excellent and good rate of Harris score was 87.1％ (27/31) in the bone cement group and 80.6％ (25/31) in the cementless group (X2 =0.47,P＞0.05).There was no significant difference in the complications between the two groups (P＞0.05).Conclusion The hemiarthroplasty is an effective and safe methodfor the treatment of femoral neck fracture in the elderly.The key to achieve excellent results is to choose the femoral prosthesis based on the preoperative planning and operation.
