The BHU bicentric bipolar prosthesis in fracture neck femur in active elderly

Abstract: Background: 55 BHU bicentric bipolar hemiarthroplasties were reviewed after a mean follow up of 4 years (range 1-5 years). Patients with displaced subcapital fractures were selected for operation on the basis of good mobility before the fracture. Object of the study was to see the efficacy of BHU bipolar prostheses and functional outcome.

“…Thus, reduces wear and debris forma on 17,18 at extremes of the movement. The neck of the prosthesis has been made trapezoidal like the Charnley type neck and the cup has been modified in a staggering fashion to decrease neck cup impingement.…”

“…Modifica on of sea ng angle between the stem and the collar has allowed preserva on of the calcar by quarter to 1 cm a er implanta on of the prosthesis. Due to low sea ng angle in conven onal bipolar (Bateman type), the calcar has to be sacrificed during the surgery and hence on weight bearing the prosthesis tends 17,18 to sink if cement is not used.…”
