Abstract
This study explores the outcomes of cemented bipolar hemiarthroplasty in patients with fracture neck of femur, focusing on early recovery and return to daily activities, particularly in the elderly. A hospital‐based, prospective, observational analysis was conducted at GSL Medical College and General Hospital, Rajanagaram on 30 patients with intracapsular femoral neck fracture. Patients aged 60 and above were included, with exclusions for those under 60, avascular necrosis with acetabular changes, pathological fractures and those medically unfit for surgery. The study spanned from September 2016 to September 2018. Surgical procedures involved a posterior approach and postoperative care followed ACCP guidelines for deep vein thrombosis prevention. Functional outcomes were assessed using the modified Harris hip scoring system. Most patients presented with Garden type IV fractures and arrived at the hospital within three days of injury. The study observed a higher incidence in females, mostly due to trivial trauma. Co‐morbidities significantly affected recovery, with heart disease and diabetes being most common. The average Harris Hip Score at six months was 87.2, with 80% of patients achieving Excellent or Good results. No late complications were noted and hospital stays averaged 21 days. Cemented bipolar hemiarthroplasty is effective in treating fracture neck of femur, particularly in elderly patients with severe osteoporosis. While age and gender had minimal impact, co‐morbidities significantly influenced recovery. The procedure aids in early rehabilitation and return to daily activities, with a high percentage of patients achieving satisfactory outcomes.
