Abstract
Femoral neck fractures are common orthopedic injuries, particularly among the elderly. Surgical intervention is often necessary to restore mobility and alleviate pain. This study explores the management of femoral neck fractures through the use of cemented bipolar prostheses. Patient evaluation: Comprehensive assessment, including age, bone quality and medical history, is conducted to determine surgical candidacy. Radiographic imaging aids in fracture pattern assessment. Surgical Planning: Implant selection involves cemented bipolar prostheses, comprising a femoral stem and bipolar head. Surgical Procedure: Fractured femoral neck exposure, debridement, femoral canal preparation and stem cementation are executed. Bipolar head attachment permits joint articulation. Postoperative Care: Rehabilitation and weight‐bearing restrictions are crucial. Regular follow‐up and imaging monitor healing and implant performance. Clinical Outcomes: Cemented bipolar prosthesis implantation yields pain relief, improved joint stability and functional restoration. Complications: Potential complications include infection, implant loosening and dislocation, influenced by patient health and bone quality. Advantages: Cemented bipolar prostheses offer stability and mobility restoration. Challenges: Complications underscore the need for careful patient selection and postoperative care. Future Directions: Ongoing research aims to refine techniques and implant designs, enhancing patient outcomes. Management of femoral neck fractures using cemented bipolar prostheses is a valuable surgical approach, providing stability and improved quality of life. Clinical Implications: This study contributes to orthopedic knowledge, guiding clinicians in the treatment of femoral neck fractures.
