Abstract

The hip joint connects the lower limb and pelvic girdle.This joint is designed for a wide range of movements and stability. It is a multi‐axial ball and socket joint that allows the entire lower extremity to move in three planes of motion and provides shock absorption function to the trunk and upper body. To compare the functional and radiological outcome of fracture neck of femur in elderly patients treated with unipolar and bipolar hemiarthroplasty. All cases that come to the orthopaedic department and meet the inclusion criteria will be included in the planned study, which is a prospective comparative analysis centered at District Hospital in Tumakuru, Karnataka. The clinical outcome following Unipolar and bipolar hemiarthroplasty based on HHS gives Good clinical outcome of 48.3% (13[46.4%] out of 28 unipolar HA, 15[50%] out of 30 in bipolar) Excellent outcome in 19% (5 in unipolar [17.9%], 6 in bipolar [20%]) , Fair in 17.2% (3 in unipolar [10.7%], 7 in bipolar [23.3%]) and 15.5% of poor outcome (7 in unipolar [25%], 2 in bipolar [6.7%]). In summary, there is a small but statistically insignificant difference in the functional outcomes between the two hemiarthroplasty procedures in favor of Bipolar HA. Rather, early mobilization and appropriate prosthesis installation are more crucial in reducing morbidity and mortality.
