Abstract
Fracture neck of femur are common injuries. Femoral neck fractures are intracapsular fractures. Femoral neck connects the shaft to the head of the femur. The hip joint is the articulation of femoral head to the acetabulum. The junctional location makes it more prone for fractures. The present study is on the functional outcome of fracture neck of femur in the elderly patients. There are various complications followed by hemiarthroplasty such as wound infection, implant loosening, dislocations, periprosthetic fractures, thromboembolism, limb length discrepancy, joint stiffness. Bipolar replacement resulted in a higher percentage of satisfactory results, less postoperative pain, greater range of movement, more rapid return to unassisted activity, fewer unsatisfactory results and no acetabular erosion. This study suggest that the utilization of modular bipolar prostheses in hemiarthroplasty for fracture neck of femur, especially in elderly patients, could lead to superior functional outcomes compared to non‐modular bipolar prostheses.
